2007 Roxbury Race #28

Jeep trail - Hemlock

September 8, 2007

8:30 am.  75 degrees, humid 

   

Jeff S. wins second longest race yet this year

Theresa Krebs beats Eunice Bussom for women's title

    It was a longer race this week, second only to the 8.2 miles we ran on August 18.  We'll run some longer ones in the future, but still, 7.3 miles is a distance to respect.  Also, it was humid.  Not so much hot, but it was drippy.  As Dr. Mel said in the early morning weather report, somebody must have put some peanut butter in the weather, because it was all sticky.

 

People

    Mario Hasz is back among us, a bit out of shape from his battle with a cancer on his eye.  He's improved a little since his comeback race last week.  Welcome back, Mario.

    They weren't the only ones back after missing a spell.  The Fossil was gone for more than a month, visiting Montreal, San Jose and most of Germany.  In San Jose he got to do a book signing for one of his new books.  If you decide to buy one, get the one How Euler Did It.  It's starting to turn up cheap on eBay.

    All of the Levy kids have gone back to school now, Adam, Andrew and Alana, so the Bevy of Levys is down to just Ross and Janet. Ross ran the race today, finishing 14th, and Janet gave valuable help at the finish line.

Safety  

    Safety is important to us, as we don't run on closed roads and generally like each other.  

    It is safest if we face traffic as much as possible.  Also, it is safer if we are all on the same side of the road, instead of making traffic drive between runners. 

    Fossil has three rules of running:

  1. Be safe

  2. Have fun

  3. It's more fun if you run well

    Be nice to the drivers.  For the most part, they like us, and they are proud to have us running in Roxbury.  Smile, and, if you wave, be sure you use all five fingers.

This week's pictures

    Up top we have Mark LoSacco changing his shoes.  

    Then we have recent 1-2 finishers among the women, still friends after the race.  Jenna Hannibal is on the left and Mary Schafer is on the right.  Both of them missed the race this week.

    Below that we have a crowd scene from last week's foggy start, featuring winner Jeff Sheldon and camera-hog Mark LoSacco in the front row, as well as a number of others you should recognize.  

    Along side the results we have Brian Vanderheiden and Torpedo Ruospo battling the elements at Boston this year.  Then there's a shot of Mark Zerbe in his red vest.  Then we have brightly colored Brian Vanderheiden and Mark LoSacco.  Near the bottom of the column, a shot of Fast Mario Hasz and his wife Diane, the Belle of the Finish Line.  

    Down at the bottom, we have Fossil meeting a dragon in Germany. He was back in Germany recently, and the dragon is still there.
