Next Tuesday night will be another group run meeting at Bentley @6p (granted there isn't a soccer scrimmage that forces us to relocate).
We'll run, and do drills and/or workout. Afterwards, I'll be hosting dinner with the possible change in menu to meatballs and pasta (if any dietary considerations, please let me know).
If you think you'll be joining for dinner, please stake your claim on some meatballs.
(If there are any menu, location, time changes, they'll be announced here.)

Tuesday Group Run
Just letting NBB know that I'll be at Bentley on Tuesday 9/18 to do the warmup with the women who are still working out. I believe Jeff Caron will be there too to do the warmup with the men who are still working out.
Then, for those who were at Bentley, we're doing burger night back at my place afterwards.
So if you're interested in joining our group run and having some burgers afterwards, meet at Bentley promptly at 6p.
Let me know who to expect for dinner so I can buy enough food. Also, let me know if you have dietary restrictions (vegetarian, etc).
Happy running,
Yvonne

Wanted: Women
... to fill our NBB Reach the Beach Relay team. The running event is September 18-19 and we still need one to two women to fill our roster.
For any NBB women or any prospective women looking to join NBB, this is a great way to get to know NBB in a way you never thought possible (ooh-la-la).
All kidding aside, this is a great running event that consists of a 200 mile road relay over 24 hours, run by 12 people (6 men, 6 women) doing 36 different legs, where each person runs 3 tempo legs totaling an average of 16 miles. Starting in the White Mountains of NH, we make our way in 2 vans of 6 people to Hampton Beach, where we strip and jump into the ocean (ok, only some people strip. Alright, fine, only I do).
New Balance (the race sponsor) is providing a FREE race entry (over $1000) and each member gets a spiffy NB tech jacket and a pair of NB trainers. They are also organizing our hotel stay, van rentals, and pre-race dinner and breakfast (which we're responsible for paying but is a small fee compared to what is provided us).
Please let me know if you're interested (contact via the nbboston.com Contact Us page).
P.S. Sorry men, we've already got a full roster of you. Maybe next year.

Eballs not shouting?
News arrived that Eballs is having her tonsils removed on Friday. She'll be out for two weeks with doctor's orders of no strenuous activities.
Does that also mean that no vile words will be spoken by her for two whole weeks!?!?
Best wishes with your upcoming surgery :p

Summer Begins
The sun came out over the weekend for Independence Day. Thankfully and finally, the summer 'season' is in full swing.
In Eugene, OR last weekend, NBB athletes Dave Juliano (men's 1500m), Jenn Donovan (women's 3km Steeplechase), Rebecca Donaghue (women's 5km) and Jen Hegarty (women's master's 1500m final) competed at the USATF Outdoor Championships. Results and Photos are available.
On the Fourth, Roland Lavallee and Mario Fraioli raced at Arnold Mills 4mi road race in Cumberland, RI. They finished first and second, respectively. Great job! (Results)
This weekend at Icahn Stadium, Justin Lutz will compete in the men's 1500m at USATF Outdoor Club National Championships. Good luck!
The NBB Reach the Beach relay team is almost complete. After our twelfth runner is found and has signed up, we'll announce the roster here. We look forward to the fun of defending our title with a co-ed team.
The NBBoston.com website is currently unavailable and under construction as we make updates. Please be patient as we work on this.

Rain and Wind for USATF NEs
New Balance Boston placed 2nd for both the men's and women's team rankings at the 2009 USATF Outdoor New England's Championships held on June 21 at MIT's track facility.
The race was held on a gray, misty day where winds from the Charles were a difficult challenge on the finish straight of the track.
Even still, hard efforts were laid down. Laura Kennedy ran a strong start in the 5km, fighting the conditions by the end. Cailtin Malloy ran a 2:17.08 in the women's 800m, with a possible infection of the "dreaded" H1N1 (swine) flu. Yvonne Green and Jen Hegarty competed in the 1500m.
On the men's side, the 800m race had Tim Kaijala, Philip Mainwaring and Chris McCann, finishing 2nd, 4th and 5th respectively. Roland Lavallee, Jeff Paterno, Ari Zamir and Tony Orth competed in the 1500m. The exciting race of the day was the men's 3k Steeplchase where Ryan Carrara came out of a long time steeple retirement to rabbit Justin Lutz. No injuries were incurred and Justin won the event.
Despite the weather, the team support was strong and much appreciated.

Brad summits Mt. Washington
NBB member Brad Klinedinst climbed 4727 feet over 7.6 miles to finish 29th in the Mt. Washington Road Race. Benefitting from a near-perfect day at the "home of the world's worst weather," Brad quickly left spitting rain and temps in the 50s behind him at the base of the mountain. Averaging 9:44 per mile (fewer than 35 of the 600+ finishers averaged under 10:00 per mile), Brad ran through the cloud layer to emerge at the summit, where he was welcomed by sun, temps in the high 60s, and an appreciative crowd. Congratulations to Brad on his 3rd climb to the top!

Juliano, Donovan Qualify for Nationals!
The third and final meet of the New Balance Boston Twilight Series was a testament to what the series is all about. The atmosphere was electric with attempts at qualifying standards in many events. Personal bests were taken down and standards were conquered.
The meet volunteers, the athletes and the available pacers made it all happen. Friends and family gave their support, while the athletes gave a show by putting it all out there.
Here's the recap.
Catherine Regan started the meet with an amazing, gutsy race in the women's 800m. Her hard efforts gave her a time of 2:10.10, clipping on the heels of Jennifer Metz. The men's and women's 400m were blazing with winning times of 47.38 and 57.34, respectively.
The women's 1500m seeded heat was filled with talent as New Balance Boston's Rebecca Donaghue ran a smart and fast race, winning in a sub-USATF 'A' Qualifying time of 4:13.78. Maureen McCandless (Team NB) and Delilah DiCrescenzo also ran under the qualifying standard.
The men's 800m had three men who finished under the USATF Qualifying Standard, with the winner at 1:46.47, nearly a full two seconds under the standard.
The large men's 5000m field had great performances, with Roland Lavallee make a hard run at the win, coming in second and a great 8 second PR, finishing in 14:15.51.
Laura Kennedy paced the women's 5000m race, where Molly Huddle ran a comfortable and strong win in a time of 15:53.91, coming in under the USATF 'B' Standard.
Tim Kaijala (NBB) and Gered Burns came back from their 800m races to help pace four men under the 1500m USATF Standard of 3:45.00. NBB's Dave Juliano finished second for an amazing 3:43.18.
The final event of the night showed the crowd a world class performance and two women achieving the USATF Standard for the women's 3000m steeplechase. DiCrescenzo came back from her 1500m race to pace Japanese, Jamaican and Kenyan athletes. Shauneen Garrahan also returned from her 1500m race to set the pace for the US athletes. Under the twilight night, Minori Kayakari won the race in 9:55.27, and Kristen Anderson and Jenn Donovan (NBB) fought the clock to acquire the USATF 'A' Qualifying Standard.
Congratulations to all the athletes. Thank you all the volunteers, New Balance, New Balance Boston, family, friends, and supporters.
See you next year at the next New Balance Boston Twilight Series!
