The FPC Boston Marathon Team was scattered far and wide this week for their long runs. Jared was across the Pond enjoying a vacation of “running around scenic London in the morning, sightseeing in the afternoon, and gigging at night [with Sidewalk Driver]. He had the warm end of the deal and Jason C. and Owen battled to the death for the icier face-off…literally. Owen described his icy moustache, “old man” eyebrows, and inability to blink as he ran to Cambridge and back, but Jason C. provided picturesque proof of his frozen face for his run in Nahant.
Carleen made it up to the North Shore for a 10 miler out of Salem, over the Beverly Bridge, and along Route 127 with Shari and Julie. The rolling hills and ocean views almost made us forget about the nasty headwind that found us on every ocean-y vantage point. Nichole took on 14 miles of fun, including a spin up the infamous Heartbreak Hill while Dale enjoyed the scenery of the park and what one could only think of as a very empty golf course. Her face mask suggestion should be shared with Jason C.
Before departing for Vegas, Laura got in 8 miles from Brighton to Cambridge and back again. She’ll get the warm weather award for this week…or win big and donate it all to the FPC.
The running song of the week is Rosanna…whatever works to get someone through the miles is fine with us. The team, especially Owen, is looking for a transportable heater. To keep up with Owen, you’ll need to lug this heater at a 6:00/mile pace, but that’s doable, right?
Next week, we take on the Emerald Necklace and the FPC Winter Volunteer Day.

Carleen, Shari, and Julie take on the rollling hills and ocean "breezes" in Beverly.
Fueled by the song Rosanna, Owen killed it for his long run this week.
