Dennen nips Abe, Quist Cruises
Pat Dennen said he was going to run slowly today. So, when
Mike Abraham disappeared over the horizon, and Pat was still in fourth place,
running with his father about a minute behind, it looked like Mike's race to
win. With about a mile and a quarter to go, though, Pat broke loose and
took off after Mike. Tony Benivegna described it as "He blew past me like
I was standing still."
Pat said that next week, he's going to run hard.
What could have been a titanic women's race among Steady
Pam Quist, Rapid Lynn Zuback, and regular rivals Kimberly Thompson and Nora
Hulton kind of fizzled as Nora suffered a cold and Kimberly had a sub-par
race. Pam passed Kimberly early and built a substantial lead. Lynn
moved up past Kimberly, but couldn't bridge the gap that Pam had built, so
finished 22 seconds behind. Nora faded to fifth among the women, behind
Sue Daniel.
Nine Roxbury runners ran Boston on Monday. Eight
finished. You can see how they did at the Roxbury at
Boston site.
That's John Murphy Jr in this week's picture. He's
smiling about how much money Peg Molina raised for the Mark Gillen Fund.
Way to go, Peg!
