WebGuy's son got married Saturday, November 3 at 3:00. Phil and Jenn thoughtfully gave WebGuy plenty of time to run Roxbury and still get to the wedding on time.  Their wedding photos are posted here on Flickr.

 

   

    t-shirts arrived last week, custom designed, as usual, by Dave Harvey, and purchased through the generosity of the people who run the Roxbury Races.

Safety  

    Have a safe and healthy winter break from the Roxbury Road Races.  Keep in mind some of the WebGuys' safety tips:

  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.

  5. Dress brightly.  Cars see bright orange, blue and red better than they see gray.  Give them a chance to miss us.

    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

    Then we have recent finishers among the women, still friends after the race.  Jenna Hannibal is on the left and Mary Schafer is on the right.  

    Below that we have a crowd scene from the foggy start on September 22. In the front row we see John Kane and Eric Winkelstern, and behind them you should see a number of others you 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 Jon Binzen worrying about the fog in front of the pavillion.  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.

      The Roxbury Races are now listed on the Internet both on RunningInTheUSA and on HiTekRacing.com.  For information contact Bob Lewis at bwlnm (at) aol (dot) com, or at 203 240 0162.
