Hi,

Is anyone planning to/want to do some runs throughout the winter?  I
ran all of last winter and for the most part it wasn't too bad.  On
the other hand, last winter was a really mild one.  I live in
Brookline, but often run after work (Longwood Medical Area) and can
meet anyone wherever.  I'm not a morning person, so it's unlikely I'll
be doing any early morning runs. Get in touch if you're interested.

Thanks!

Anne

Each year we wind down the Wednesday Night runs for the cold/dark
winter evenings.

We do host other activities in their place and you could keep an eye
out for upcoming events on our Calendar.

We encourage you all to use the forum to look for a running
buddy/partner to run with. It is alot of fun and also very motivating
to meet someone for a run. In the upcoming winter months sometimes
heading out in the cold seems daunting, but if you know you have
arranged to meet someone it can be that bit easier.

We have created a Database where members of this board can share
their information and look for a potential running buddy.

Only people who has signed up to the group will have access to this
information.

So if you are looking for company, add your information to the DB,
you are free to edit it or remove it at any time. You can put your
phone number online, or you may want to have someone initially
contact you by email directly and then share a phone number with
them, instead of posting it on this board.

Start planning to get through those lonely winter days and
evenings!!!!

I have my running gear with me... it is a bit wet out there today but if
others are on for running I would be happy to go along  - got a rain jacket
with me.

FYI.... I am running very slow pace though right now trying to build myself
back up.

Let us know if you are planning on coming along tonight.

Emma

I'm in!

Heidi

(not sure if the previous reply worked)

I'm in! It's been a long time since I've gone on a wednesday run, so
my pace will be slow as well.

Heidi

Thanks!

For anyone looking for a number for the 2007 Bostn Marathon, MSPCC are looking for runners to fundraise.... Awesome cause...

Greetings, all...

The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (MSPCC) has been selected as an official charity of the 2007 Boston Marathon.  This is the first of our three year affiliation with the Boston Athletic Association and we are looking for runners who would like to help us raise money for our nationally recognized child abuse and neglect prevention programs through "Team Protect Our Kids" (T-POK).

About MSPCC
MSPCC is one of the oldest child welfare agencies in the United States.  Incorporated in April of 1878, MSPCC is a private, non-profit society dedicated to protecting and promoting the rights and well being of children and families.  Prevention (of child abuse) is the Society's middle name and focus of its service interventions. 

In Massachusetts:

·         A child is reported abused or neglected every eight minutes. 

• A child is born into poverty every three hours.
• A child dies before his or her first birthday every day.

For 128 years, MSPCC has consistently been at the forefront of child protection and child abuse prevention by providing effective direct services to children and families and through research and advocacy.  At MSPCC, we believe that every child is entitled to a safe and healthy start and we know the best way to provide that start is to reach out to families as soon as possible. Parenting can be a difficult job but effective parenting can be taught. Our programs work

MSPCC was a leader in the passage of the Commonwealth's child abuse reporting law and subsequent amendments.  In 2004, MSPCC released a policy position paper "Oral Health and the Commonwealth's Most Vulnerable Children:  A State of Decay," which highlights the significant and long-term health impacts of poor oral health and lack of access to dental care for poor Massachusetts children and children in foster care.  In April 2005, MSPCC released "18 and Out: Life After Foster Care in Massachusetts ," a public advocacy paper that describes the challenges faced by teenagers who 'age out' of state custody and makes recommendations to address these issues.  Finally, in 2006 MSPCC and Children's Hospital Boston are collaborating on an upcoming paper that will be the platform for a campaign to reform Children's Mental Health Services in Massachusetts .

About Team Protect Our Kids

Proceeds raised by "Team Protect Our Kids" ("T-POK") will be used to provide child abuse prevention, mental health treatment, early intervention, and child development services to more than 30,000 children and families throughout the Commonwealth.  April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and royal blue is its color.  Last year, MSPCC launched its "Paint the Town Blue" campaign to highlight this cause.  This year, by teaming with the BAA for the most recognizable event in Boston , we hope to bring much needed attention and support for a cause that is often ignored before it is too late.

We have 15 numbers and have selected 7 runners already...but need 8 more to meet our minimum goal of $45,000.  Members of Team Protect Our Kids are expected to be able to complete the Marathon in six hours or less and raise a minimum of $3,000.  We are also looking to increase the impact of our dollars raised by having qualified runners be part of our team (they are not obligated to any fundraising minimum) to help us raise awareness and funds for our much needed services.

For more information and to view our application please visit www.mspcc.org/metrobostonprof or call Tamara Belmonte , Development Officer at (617) 587-1505.

Wow! I havn't been on this in a long time! I havn't been able to join LunaChix for the Wednesday night runs because of work. I get off at 6:30 and I work all the way out in Waltham :(

Emma, I don't know if you remember me, but I'm running Chicago too! Maybe we'll run into each other. I'll be wearing a bright, almost fluorescent, singlet that says Children's Hospital Boston. I'm running for their Miles for Miracles program.

If anyone is willing to support my run and make a small donation to Children's Hospital, you can do so by clicking on the following link:

Good luck to those running Chicago this weekend or New York in a couple weeks!

Congratulations!!! I'm so glad to hear that your first marathon was so
positive. Congratulations for taking on the challenge and completing
the marathon. I hope you're relaxing and resting. I can't wait to hear
all about your race when I see you next.

katrina

Congratulations Cynthia, you rock, your time, your spirit and all
your fundraising for Breast Cancer Fund, over $3000 and counting that
is awesome. http://www.firstgiving.com/churchwell

You should feel very proud, rest up this week, take care of yourself
and treat yourself, you deserve it.

It truly sounds like you enjoyed the whole marathon experience.

Emma

Hi All--

Just want to let everyone know the Hartford Marathon yesterday was awesome!  My official time is 4:23:28.   

 

It was a beautiful day - very sunny, but brisk (I had on shorts and long sleeve shirt the whole way;) a great day for a first marathon!

I know most of you are getting ready for fall marathons. But, I'm
curious if anyone has qualified or been accepted to run for charity
for Boston in 2007? My team training doesn't start until December, but
I want to get started building a base ASAP! (This is my first
marathon.) I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one out there. : )

Good luck in all the fall marathons!!
