I've met some of you in years past when I'm visiting VT. I'm staying in Arlington again and would like to meet up with a group or anyone for a run while I'm there. I'll do anything from 5-13 miles. I'm pretty slow on trails because I don't run on them much when I'm home in NJ, but usually train at anything from sub-8:00 for shorter runs to 8:30 or so on longer runs.

I posted this on a different board by accident. Maybe....someone will bite on it here. Looking for a training partner to do longish trail runs with. I have a couple ideas lined up such as....Prospect Rock Manchester out to Stratton pond loop and back. Stratton Mtn from Kelly Stand to Prospect Rock Manchester. Bromley to Mad Tom Notch, and Kelly Stand over Glastenbury to Bennington. Pace will be slow run/walking at times. Should be fun.

Thanks.

VERMONT'S WHEATING SUB-4:00 IN OREGON
April 25 (Eugene OR)

Andrew Wheating (U.Oregon / Norwich VT) thrilled a crowd of 6,875 at Historic Hayward Field with a kick to win the mile at the Oregon Relays in 3:58.16!
The time dropped hs personal best from 4:04.77, and made him the first native Vermonter / Vermont HS alum to run a sub-4:00 mile. All six New England states now have a high school product who has run under the magic mark.]]> http://www.bkvr.org/boards/comments.php?DiscussionID=16 http://www.bkvr.org/boards/comments.php?DiscussionID=16 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 18:32:31 -0400 mkelsey See ya,

To Battenkill Valley Runners,
In the past years I believe we have gotten a few runners from your club at our Annual 5K race in Ludlow, Vermont. This race is a benefit for Cystic Fibrosis. This year there is also an afternoon Bike Hill Climb Race...if you could check out our Race website and tell your members about it, I would greatly appreciate it... the race is 6/28/08. We have lots of trophies and medals plus numerous give-away prizes including a free mountain bike drawing which all runners and walkers are eligible to win...drawing is right after 5K Race. Check our web site:
www.ludlow5k.com
Thanks,
Peg Cariddi
Race Director

Note: This takes place on the same day as our new race, the Taconic Trails 5K & 15K.]]> http://www.bkvr.org/boards/comments.php?DiscussionID=14 http://www.bkvr.org/boards/comments.php?DiscussionID=14 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 20:23:45 -0500 mkelsey Variable Distances

This was the first race I've been in since the end of October, so I was anxious to get out there and run hard. My training has been going well of late, but I still didn't know what time to expect, since I'd never been in a four mile race before. I set a loose goal of sub-27. The first mile went by faster than I expected, in 6:07. I realized that I was going too fast, and I slowed a bit. I saw a few people pass me at this point, but I just wanted to run my race. The second mile was in 6:19. Still a little faster than I wanted to be running, but I was feeling good. I started to pick off a few runners during mile 3, which was a pretty tough mile for me, 6:28. I stayed strong for the last mile, and passed a few more runners. With a sprint to the finish, I passed the 8th overall woman. My 4th mile was in 6:23, giving me a finish time of 25:17 (watch time). I finished 53rd overall, 11th in my 25-29 age group. I was very satisfied with the race I ran.

The course was very enjoyable. It was pancake flat and had a lot of turns. There was one water stop, which was plenty. Refreshments and food at the finish were great.

I noticed three other BKVR members ran the race as well (sorry if you were there and I didn't recognize you!):

83 26:43 Cady Kuzmich
188 31:48 Jen Kuzmich
266 35:57 Ed Doucette

Congrats to the three of you on great races!]]> http://www.bkvr.org/boards/comments.php?DiscussionID=9 http://www.bkvr.org/boards/comments.php?DiscussionID=9 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 20:31:02 -0500 zemdog http://www.RunReg.com/RacersResource/events/register.asp?eventid=1673

If you prefer snail mail, entry forms should be out soon around Bennington or with the current BKVR newletter. We also have an email list from last year and will be sending out that way in a week or so.

The bad news first. The dinner & run at CTK Conference Center on March 2nd is postponed to a later date. Too many people had conflicting activities, so no party this Sunday. Sorry. We’re working on a fresh date.

More bad news. My gauge said -12 degrees last night. Anyone with a lower reading?

Courage. Winter will soon be over. Sugar season is starting. The chickadees have changed to their Spring song. And….. we are lining up a series of Sunday group runs: some in Arlington/Sunderland, some in Bennington/Shaftsbury and some in Greenwich/Cambridge. Stay tuned.

For those of you who ice skate, there is free skating at Riley Rink in Manchester on Sunday, March 9th from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The Manchester Fire Department will be there giving fire engine rides to any kid (including you) who wants one. The event marks the end of Riley Rink’s skating season. In the Spring the rink is used for indoor lacrosse and soccer training.

Our Scholarship Committee (5 strong) is beginning to vet this year’s applicants. Deadline April 1.

Side note: We also support local chapters of Girls on the Run with cash donations. Is there a group near you?

Dues due. If BKVR is on your “I forgot” list, put our name in the hat this month and send in a check.

WEBSITE

Hi everyone,

I wanted to let you know that I've had some time to work on updating bkvr.org lately. I have migrated the site to a new server. This has allowed me to do a few things.

First, the message board has been updated. You will have to register and log in, but I think it is a huge upgrade over what we have been using. Please try it out and let me know what you think. I'm hoping that it will be a great tool for communicating amongst club members, but for that to happen, we need you to start and participate in some discussions.

The calendar has been updated, too, and I will be adding in race dates, group runs, and meetings soon. Actually, if someone could send me a list of known race dates or planned group runs, that would be great. The pace calculator and articles pages have been re-coded. More changes will trickle in during the next few weeks. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to contact me!

Thanks,
Sean Hannon
