It seems like people run at Roxbury like the weather was all week, and not how
the weather is on Saturday. This week bore that out. People ran like
it was hot, even though the heat wave had ended, leaving it sunny and 60

A
beautiful spring day seemed cool after record setting heat all week.

JT Schemm wore down new Roxbury resident Mike Abraham and beat him by 20 seconds. Roxbury also nabbed third place as Homeboy Jay Kuenzle ran down Keyless Bob Derringer by ten seconds.
PQ
Pam Quist continued her string of wins among the women, grabbing her seventh
race of the year and tenth place over all in 23:49. Rapid Lynn Zuback was
three minutes back in 26:06, and Kyle Gancher, still a bit wobbly after Monday's
Boston Marathon, was a minute and a half behind that. 
Roxbury runners fared fairly well at Boston last week. We have a page of Roxbury runners and friends and how they finished. The Fossil Ed Sandifer finished his 30th consecutive Boston, missing a chance to nip under three hours one last time by about two minutes. The Kyle Gancher Saga continues. She was pretty tired by the end of the marathon, logging a chip time of 4:03 and suffered some shaking, but she was recovering well enough to do a decent Roxbury this week. We haven't talked to Peg Molina, but the official results give her a chip time of 3:33, about three minutes slower than last year. Remember last year, though, she had a difficult recovery.
Rumor has it that Carl Hunt ran the London Marathon last weekend. Web Guy heard the rumor too late to check it out with Carl himself, but Web Guy is not a professional journalist, so he believes everything he hears. Tell us about it, Carl! Other rumors have it that some of our friends are going to sneak off and run the Chicago Marathon this fall in an effort to qualify for Boston next year. What a silly way to have fun.
This week's top picture is from last year, Dangerous Ken Merrick giving a stick at the finish to Critter Chris Powderly. Below is this week's winner, PQ, smiling, of course.
