The Baystate Marathon 2015 Race Recap!
By Katie Merrill, FHR member since 2013, who swore she’d never run another marathon… My alarm sounded at 5am. I didn’t need it though, since I’d already been up for 45 minutes. Thinking about the day ahead as I lay in bed in the...

from tri-curious to tri-crazy: my first 70.3 ironman
In August of 2013 I decided that my goal for the proceeding year would be to complete a triathlon; specifically, I wanted to race the Boston Triathlon–a sprint distance tri (.5 mile swim, 9 mile ride, 4.4 mile run). There was only one...

The seasons change and so do we…
Fall is a season of change. The leaves droop a bit lower on the trees and begin to turn colors, and the sunset around Jamaica Pond starts a bit earlier each day. In the city of Boston, the fall always seems to be a season of excitement and new...
