Right off the top let me issue an apology to our Monday night Mom, Tracy Flynn. I screwed up the results to be published in the Telegram last week and her name was omitted. Tracy has been working harder than anyone and it shows. Her times are better and her cookies are too, not that they were ever bad, and it is always nice to be recognized for your efforts. So Tracy I am sorry. Maybe we can make this better with more M & M cookies, you bake 'em I'll eat 'em. That should smooth things over.

Thanks once again to the Curleys for their hospitality. Cyndy was "womanning" the grill tonight and served up hamburgers and hotdogs, which along with all the other assorted dishes brought in by the runners makes for the best Monday night meal deal around. This deal can't be beat. Run a few miles get a free meal. All you are asked in return is to support the Bar and buy a few drinks. As the frugal city Worcester is known to be it is no surprise that this weekly is such a hit.

Speaking of a few drinks, that seems to be all it takes to get the stories flowing. Not naming names or throwing anyone under the bus but much hilarity ensued this evening when the empty glasses started piling up. Let's just say that men from Montreal are very kissable and apparently bathroom sinks are not as durable as they may appear, particularly when used improperly, and leave it that. :) What? No it's not what you think.

This weeks race plug is once again the Fred Warren 5.5 miler Taking place in Holden this Sunday at 6:30. It's a challenging course and small-town New England race with an el cheapo entry fee.

And finally but most importantly thanks to the better half of yours truly, Heather Stevens. Not a runner, and maybe not even a fan of us runners as we are generally selfish, sweaty and somewhat snooty, but a supporter none the less, Heather's always working behind the scenes, helping out at races, and providing us with fantastic baked goods. Tonight's peach apple pie was a hit and let me just say that everyone was happy to get a taste of your pie. :)
