Safety  

    Traffic was kind of bad this week.  We may have made it a little worse by not getting out of the way very well.  It works best if we all go to the same side, so that the cars can go around us instead of between us.

  1. Always choose a safe line.

  2. Try to stay on the same side of the road, usually facing traffic.

  3. In general, follow the people in front of you.  You can see them better than they can see you.

  4. Call traffic warnings to other runners.  "Car up!" or "Car back!"  Even if it's a truck.

    

    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

    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.
