Weekend recap, great job to the following athletes.

1) had an incredible weekend as she t**e part in the Bibbulmun Track Stage Race in Australia. The long course was between 33-40k a day for three straight days. Jess won every single day so she was easily the overall winner. The incredible thing was this was done just 2 weeks after running a big PR of 2:50 at the Perth Marathon. Great job Jess!

2) had a big day at the Marine Corps Marathon. In just her second marathon Jess t**e over 12 minutes off her previous time and ran a PB of 3:30. Nice job Jes!

5) ran the Rhode Island half in a new PB of 135:59. NIce job Bob!

6) ran the Santa Cruz half for fun as her instructions were to not go too hard as this was meant to just be a steady long run. Angela ran 1:36:07 and was the overall winner still in the 50-54 age group. Nice job Angela!

7) ran the Wheaton 5k Trail race in 21:14 good for first 40-44. also ran a 5k and finished first age group 50-59. covered 50 miles in her first ever back yard ultra. Nice job to all 3!

Have not finished the end of the year stats but had to share the top 8 women's times in the marathon so far this year. These are the top times so far this year and we have also had 61 Boston qualifying times produced by our women athletes. So impressed by these accomplishments as the women have been on fire this year. We still got two months left in the year so let's keep things going strong! I will share the men's stats at a later time when I calculate those, but I Just wanted to highlight this list today.

Also if you are stuck in a rut racing wise, or want to go all in on your goals please reach out to us asap on coaching. That list I shared most of those athletes started in the 3:20's and have worked their way down to where they are today. We can help you reach your goals and take your running to the next level. However, don't hesitate with Boston training approaching spots will fill fast. So now is a good time to reach out and join an incredible team that is supportive of one another. I can promise they are the best group of teammates and friends out there!
