Races and a new Bender

  By

We would like to welcome Amanda to the Benders. She ran with us a few times early this year in the Marathon Clinic, but due to a busy work schedule she had a hard time coming out on a regular basis. She has finally seen the light and joined our running club. Her goal is to run a good Boston race next year. This weekend, good luck to Steve, who’s doing a 100 miler in Michigan. Hope to see him back safe and sound and to hear all those running? Read more
