Merry, Merry,Merry,Merry Christmas........to all!!

Folks from all over the map joined us this evening...even Mike Butler of the Empire One Running Club who has put almost as many miles on his sneaks this year as he has on his car wheels with all the traveling back and forth from home in Springfield, MA!!

Traves Thompson of Worcester, MA...made a bold bellowing threat over the hourdes of post race partying runners/walkers heads this evening tellin' weekly winner and SSAC stud-Cameron Manning that he was comin' at him and that it won't be long before he goes down as the weekly winner!! We will see!!

Congrats to Medford mom, Tracy Shaunghessy who won her first time Big-Time Somerville road race tonight.....if she stays healthy and keeps comin' back she could go un-defeated in 2006!!!

Next Thursday is the last Thursday Night race of the year from the D.A.V. in Somerville, MA and what better way to celebrate a "Last" but with sausage & peppers washed down with cold beer????  Join us next week at the D.A.V. "Sausage & Peppers 5.15Km" on December 29, 2005
