August 6th, 2014 - Mystic Runners Run The Q Report No rain, awesome. Bright sunshine, awesome. 3 New Mystic Members, awesome!!! Heres an OFFICIAL welcome to frequent Lake runners Erik Cann, family addition Rebecca Sievers (Johns daughter) and Peabodys Laura Warren. Last night we saw (96) runners hit the beautiful surroundings of Lake Q for our weekly event. This was a superb showing for our monthly charity run for The Friends Of Lake Quannapowitt. Collectively our runners donated close to $200 to this organization whos main focus is to preserve the beauty of our Lake. Thank YOU to all our runners and to Meg Michaels for championing this cause for our club and being so involved each year. And note that the (96) runner total is the 2nd highest for our Run The Q event ever. On the race front we saw a very steady pack at the 1/2 mile pole led by Wilmingtons Brian Sobell and Ann Arbour Michigan native but frequent Lake runner David Cogswell. Many of the lead runners were at 3:05 or lower which is a very fast start to any race. In fact we had 30 runners break the 24 minute mark on a fairly hot night. Top finishers in each category were as follows: Overall ====== Brian Sobell-Wilmington-28 (18:02) David Cogswell-Ann Arbour, MI-24 (18:35) Chris Maienza-Wilmington-17 (19:29) Noah Spicer-North Reading-16 (19:34) Michael Cahill-Amesbury-17 (20:10) Female ====== Katie Squires-Reading-15 (22:06) Jackie Ryan-Wilmington-17 (22:57) Savannah Hubbard-Wilmington-19 (22:57) Jill Custudio-Wakefield-24 (23:18) Beth Picardi-Wakefield-37 (23:29) Other key times that jump off the board were those from Eamon Murphy (21:28), John Sievers (21:53), Janelle Anderson (25:06), Carol Gabriella (26:36), Julie Kingsley (29:31), Steve Smith (30:52) and Pamela Paige (35:44). I also want to celebrate Pams return to running as she has made significant strides the past several years to overcome so much (Judy Jacoby and MaryAnn Martin, thanks for helping Pam last night). Thank you to our many 8/6 volunteers (and there were so many) including: John Bradley, Barry Saunders, Kevin McGonagle, MaryBeth MacDonald, Naomi Laing, Heather Lane, Kenny McGowen, Donna Plachowitz, Diane Dexter, Bob Whitmore, Steve Viegas, Michelle OKeefe, Kristina Richard, Shane Waterman, Jane Ryder, Dave Rand, Emma Rand, Ace Foulds, Alan Foulds and Don Davis.
