Week four of the nineteen week Back Cove 5k Race Series was tonight, and there was a good turn out. There have been over 70 people registered over the past month for the series, which is more than I expected this early in the season. Today, I went out not knowing what to expect. Since…

This week I am giving away a free copy of Coast to Coast; just leave a comment describing a story about running for a chance to win. Coast to Coast is about the November 2004 relay run by the cross country team of the Rochester Institute of Technology. They began the relay by dipping their…
