Lyndeborough, NH, January 24, 2009

Scott Mason, Bob Jackman, and new Turtle Ben Keefe headed up to the Feel Good Farm on Saturday morning with Jackie Jackman as a spectator (1 of 3 at the race) This would be the 2nd snowshoe race for Scott and Ben and # 1.75 for Bob after going off course at the Pooh Hill 8k 2 weeks ago.

The race ended up being a pretty low-key event with 12 finishers in the 7.2k and 2 in the 3.6k.

Martin finished 6th overall out of 655 finishers in a time of 1:37:09 (6:05 pace)

Scott Mason given special recognition in New Engand Runner

2009-01-18T22:46:00.004-05:00

The current edition of New England Runner not only recognized Martin Tighe as the top senior In RI in 2008 but both Scott Mason and myself were given a little kudos for our 'running' photography in the editorial. While I am chuffed with providing the cover shot of former-Turtle Matt Pelletier being given the acolade of the top runner in New England in 2008. I'd like to mention the recognition that Scott Mason was given in the editorial (for those who do not recieve the magazine) - Scott has both appeared on the cover of New England Runner as an athlete and has taken the photograph which appeared on the cover of New England runner (CVS Downtown 5K) in the September/October edition...Scotty discusses this in more detail in his blog here .

So, as the legs and body get a wee-bit older Scott continues to provide support to the New England running community both as a runner and a photographer; and as a Tuesday Night Turtle.

An abominable snowman in East Greenwich?

2009-01-18T12:52:00.005-05:00

To run, this snowy morning, there were some difficult roads to navigate just to drive to the start, especially us folks from South County - why is there always someone really slow in front of you when you are in a hurry?

As you can see from the photograph our current Man of Winter is living up to his award as he throws his snowy-beard into the ring to repeat this year. Joining Bob on the run this morning were Jackie, Michaela, Karen, El Presidente, John Peabody, Cousin Rich, Don Henderson and myself.

A special mention for Don Henderson who ran 18 miles in the snow this morning. An awesome feat as we had to run in the powder for most of the run

The toughest, and most dangerous, part of the run, as it always is, was from the parking lot through East Greenwich - Michaela has suggested the we should probably move the start of the run on these really snowy mornings to the parking lot at Conversations - which does make a lot of sense!!

On December 26th Mike Tammaro and the NRA put on the 1st ?Annual? Nooseneck 18k Race/Fun run. This was a free event starting at the Big River Inn in West Greenwich, RI on a difficult rolling course. Mike had all the mile marks out and cones at every corner, the Inn had some descent beer on tap and some good pub food to chow on after the run, making this a great event that should be put on every year. We had a few Turtles show up to get in some miles the day after Christmas.

Sunmart 50 Miler-Huntsville, Texas

Our very own Martin Tighe traveled to Texas this weekend to take part in the Sunmart 50 miler. Martin finished second out of 159 finishers. My research shows that first place finisher Matthew Lonegran is the husband of elite runner Marla Runyun.

I only wonder if Martin outkicked the 3rd place finisher or if he was catching Martin in the final stretch!

The Tuesday Night Meetings!

2008-12-01T07:48:00.005-05:00

Last Tuesday night over a few pints and with the appropriate number of Turtles to make a vote that mattered...we voted to have a monthly meeting on the first Tuesday of every month. Therefore, tomorrow night December 1st, 2008 marks the first of these meetings. If you wish to speak your mind...or see others do so, please come out to Track 84 after the run. Below is a video of the exciting vote from last week, disregard the evil man in the middle with the inappropriate gesture!

Tuesday Nights

2008-11-26T08:32:00.005-05:00

Tuesdays nights are the Turtles "main event". We meet at Pawtuxet Park in Warwick, RI and run anywhere from 3-16 miles with runs starting at 4:30, 5:00, and 5:30pm. After the run we head on over to my favorite place to get a pint, Track 84.

2008-11-24T15:11:00.002-05:00

The big decision, I had, in posting the results this week was whose photo should I use - Michaela for picking up the win at Little Rhody or the the guy on the left who has now ran his 70th race of the year with one month to go!

In response to my personal blog (nikonrunner.blogspot.com) about Nike Sock Racers, Pat Meacham sent me this photo of him running a 9 miler in Sea Isle City, NJ more than a few years ago wearing his Sock Racers. Pat says it is about 22 years ago. Looking at the clock, i would say he ran pretty good. Great stuff, Pat.

Nancy's recount of the Venice Marathon

2008-11-03T08:15:00.003-05:00

The Venice Marathon was amazing! The video of Nancy crossing the line can be seen on the blog....

Training during the 2 week tour before hand had some interesting moments. One guy who joined the tour was an electrical engineer who’d run several marathons. He gave me on going support and advice. I was invited by a group of Italians in Rome’s Villa Borghese Park to run with them; they were training for the Florence Marathon. And then there were some comic moments. In Sorrento, where there was no way to run outside, I turned into a Popsicle, aqua running in an unheated pool. Then the next day, at 5:30AM, I tried doing laps in the tunnel going up to the hotel lobby and had the lights shut off on me. Picking up the bib # the day before the race was chaotic as the blog on the Internet described. It took 2 hours. If it wasn’t for a French woman on the bus helping us, it might have been longer. And there was a little doggie lost at the sports expo, which broke my heart. They actually email you your net time - I finished in 5:14:42, along with a URL to see videos of yourself running, to which you could buy the DVD. I know I said I wanted to finish in 5 hours, but I’m happy.

The weather was perfect. The scariest part was leaving the hotel at 5:30AM. There was no desk clerk at night and I knew the door was going to lock behind me. I kept thinking – what if I have to go to the bathroom? Dressed too warmly? Didn’t dress warm enough? Forgot something? Get lost? … They had these big clunky keys with no copies, so I’d left the key with Mom. As I left and walked through a totally empty St. Mark’s Square, which is a mobbed during the day, I thought “If I get mugged right now, this is going to be the stupidest thing I’ve ever done.” But then I saw a guy, Matt, with a post-race running bag, heading for the water bus (boat), and luckily he was from British Airlines and spoke English. I was so relieved, as the Italians didn’t speak English in Venice as often or as well as in Rome. We talked and Matt told me he planned to do the Stockholm Marathon next. From the water bus drop-off, we had to catch the bus for to the start. The concierge said to just go straight for 5 minutes to get to the fruit and vegetable stand where the bus was to pick us up. Thank goodness for the Italians – it was anything but straight. (After we got home, Mom started reading a book by Gore Vidal on Venice. He writes that if you ask anyone in Venice for directions, they tell you to just go straight.) The Internet warned – “make sure to get a seat on the bus! There is only seats for 1/3 of the runners and it’s a 40 minute ride.” I took it as a sign when I got a seat. I met a young Kansas woman in her mid-20s, Cagney, and a handsome British guy named Giles. Cagney now lives in Belgium working for NATO. It felt surreal. It was Cagney’s first marathon, so we hung together after we got off the bus. Cagney and I met Patty from California. She was in her 40s, and held two jobs, in order to put her son through college. She’d had surgery and chemo for stomach cancer a year ago and had recently gotten a respiratory infection, for which her doctor made her stop training. She’d told people she was just going to pick up the T-shirt and not run, but at the last minute, she changed her mind. She’d already run the Athens Marathon (where a cop directed her to go 4 miles in the wrong direction before she looped around to finish), and the Dublin Marathon, which she said is the best. Off we went. My Ipod had lost half it’s charge, when I was running in Rome, so Ipod free, I asked people “speak English?” I met the nicest people. One Toronto woman, at mile 18, said it was about this many miles she starts to think the whole thing was a bad idea. I joked I think that before I start. One guy at mile 20 spoke a little English. He asked “Giving up”? I said “Yes”, then … “You never know” and he laughed agreeing. But at about mile 22 an Italian woman, Elia, ran by me “Vai!” But I couldn’t run right then. Later I ran by her and said “Vai!” She didn’t know any English, but we ran/walked to nearly the finish egging each other on. We’d point to something and say “Corriamo! (we run!)” I knew just enough Italian to say what I wanted to run to. After I crossed the finish line, we gave each other a big hug.

Half an hour later, trying to walk in the mob back to the hotel, I saw Patty, and a little after her, Cagney running by so I could cheer them on. That was nice.
