Baystate Marathon is a Boston qualifier and brings lots of serious runner types. I ran the half but enjoyed the swag and prime organization afforded to the marathoners. It's a good race, mostly flat except for the bridge crossings.

This one is run on a weekday evening prior to a full moon! The course is an out-and-back on a rail trail, and finishes in a football stadium. Fun to find what you have left for the 100-yard sprint in the grass field!

Second time running the Boston Marathon as a bandit runner. Much the same as the first time. It's a thrilling experience to run through my hometown and be involved in this great race!

A rare 15K. As the name suggests it's a tune-up for the Boston Marathon which takes place 16 days later. I was loosely planning to run the marathon as a bandit, so I ran this one to learn from the qualified marathoners. It was fun. Nice run throught the countryside. Post-meal feast.
