Driving to the New Bedford Half Marathon. Diane Senecal, Chris Spaight, Nicole Rattay, Mary Camire, Vinny Hey, and Laurie Feit-Melnick.
We had some very impressive performances the past few weeks leading up to Spring Marathons. With the winter coming to an end and the chilling weather behind us, a few NRA runners are in the final stretch to Boston, Cox Providence, Big Sur, and Gettysburg Marathon.
Brody Williams (age 11) ran a PR of at the Beat the Chill 5K. Make sure you congratulate this superstar the next time you see him! Congratulations to Diane Leith-Doucett for placing 3rd in her age group at Oceans Run Half Marathon. Way to go Diane! Diane ran a 1:35:20 which is a 7:17 pace. A BIG congratulations to Stephanie Canter who ran her first half marathon at the Oceans Run. Breaking two hours with a time of 1:51:37. Keep up the good work Stephanie! Despite the pouring rain, the NRA had a good showing at the Quonset 10 Miler. Paul Letoile placed 2nd overall, with a time of 1:08:48. Laurie Feit-Melnick took first place for the women and 3rd overall running a time of 1:12:18. Congratulations to Laurie and Paul, your hard work paid off!
The New Bedford Marathon went off without a hitch. A little windy at times but overall a nice day for running. Vinny Hey and Mary Camire placed first in their age group, while Diane Senecal took 2nd for the masters division. This race draws in some of the best runners in New England. Great work team!! The NRA welcomes back runner Glenn Anderson from his hiatus. Glenn ran the Pound the Pavement 5K on March 29th. Great to have you back Glenn!
