The Back Cove 5k Race Series concluded tonight with some great competition. Mark Goettel led three other runners to sub-17 times in a blazing 16:37. For the past few weeks, people have been making fun of me for worrying about who might place first in the overall series since I had a pretty comfortable lead….

Tonight was the 16th Back Cove Weekly 5k. The number of people who ran dropped off a bit from recent weeks, despite excellent running weather, but 58 people got to enjoy the race. There are only 2 races left in the series, and I recommend getting out there for at least one of them. They…
