Angel Green is running in the Inov-8 USATF-NE Goat Series and wanted to let everyone in Wicked know how she was doing. Her next race is tomorrow. Lets all wish Angel Good Luck!
By Angel Green
I am trying my feet out at mountain running and have unofficial entered the Inov-8 USATF-NE Mountain Goat Series. If I officially register myself and complete all 6 races I will automatically bypass the 2010 Mt. Washington lottery.
From David Long
I’m running the Market Square Day 10K in Portsmouth on June 13th. If a club has 5 runners, they can be scored against other teams. Hope to see some other Wicked red jerseys there!http://www.proportsmouth.org/MSDRoadRace.cfm
From Tammy Moschella
This is an awesome race! June 28th. Some minor hills but it’s relatively flat course, great barbeque after with a guitar player and it’s at a bar so you can get a cold beer afterwards! Parking fills quickly so get there EARLY!
I plan on making a day of it. I would love to have some company out there! Let me know if you are interested in joining us. I think Lester, Carol and Angel are going to do it with me. The more the merrier I always say!
From Beth O’Grady
