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!

New Balance Sports Research Lab
The recently completed New Balance Sports Research Lab in Lawrence, MA is looking for runners! Check out a short segment done on our lab by WBZTV ( http://wbztv.com/bostonmarathon/boston. … 84934.html). We are constantly doing research and product testing related to running, but in order to do this research and testing we need athletes! A typical trip would involve about an hour in our Sports Research Lab with our trained experts using our state of the art equipment. As compensation, we will let you keep a pair of
awesome New Balance running shoes. We are especially interested in men who are size 9.5 because this is the size we create prototype shoes in. We are also very interested in women who are a size 7. If you are not that size, don’t worry because we often do other studies and testing where we are looking for other sizes. If you would like to help us out, see a research lab unlike any other, and get a new pair of the finest running shoes around, email us! sportsresearch@newbalance.com
