The current edition of New England Runner not only recognized Martin Tighe as the top senior In RI in 2008 but both Scott Mason and myself were given a little kudos for our "running" photography in the editorial.

To run, this snowy morning, there were some difficult roads to navigate just to drive to the start, especially us folks from South County - why is there always someone really slow in front of you when you are in a hurry?

I took the ride up to East Madison yesterday for the Pooh Hill Snowshoe Race with teammate Bob Jackman, not knowing what to expect. Having not raced in over 2 years and with little training at all, my expectations were very low. Last week was my highest mileage in 8 months at 21 miles, but i figured that i have to start somewhere so this was as good a place as any, why start out with something easy?
