Wishing Patriot’s Day good luck and great racing to the following TNB athletes, you can track them with their race number:
Ann Medeiros, #21435- Ann is running her 3rd Boston and 10th marathon. She ran her first in 1993 at age 49 and has been a top age group runner every since.
Haleigh Riggle, #14324- Haleigh is TNB’s youngest member, I’ve got race T-shirts older than her parents. Coming back from injury and bouyed by the confidence of youth.
Andre Jejeune, #6974- My buddy and training partner back in the 80’s, lives in the Bronx, following the path of the master, will do well in the 40-44 age group.
Pralad KC, #23792- I spoke with Pralad at his home in Boston yesterday and he is ready to realize his life long dream of running the Boston Marathon.
Our TNB Medical Director Bill Weeks is injured but will still make the trip to Boston. Serendipity that the Road Race Medical Directors are having their annual meeting in conjunction with the marathon, Bill will learn all the latest when it comes to dealing with emergencies during events.
Please do drink plenty of Sam Adams Beer while out east, and enjoy them here at home too! They had a one time stock offering back in the early 90’s, limited to 33 shares/person, you could purchase for each member of your family. So not only will you be enjoying America’s finest craft beer, but you can feel good knowing you will be contributing to my retirement.
Greg Meyer, me, & Kevin Hanson. Greg was the last American to win the Boston Marathon, way back in 1983. Greg continues in the sport as the Elite Athlete Coordinator for both the Fifth Third River Bank Run 25K in Grand Rapids and the Crim 10 Miler in Flint, MI.
