Adron turns his focus to the indoor season now but hopes we can field a full team for next fall and compete in the team cross competition.
When your name shows up on LetsRun, you're practically famous. Same goes for a YouTube video that features you three different times. Our distinctive singlet helps a lot...Check Adron out at the start, at 6:21 and at 11:05 of this video too. Looking smooth! Adron rocked Franklin Park yesterday, finishing 24th in 25:15.

Ben enjoyed great weather at Mohawk Hudson this year and came away in 30th place in 2:56:18, good for a 1 second PR. Next up for him? Shelburne Half Marathon on November 1st.
Erin is one of those remarkable runners who balances a full time job, an under two year old and serious training. After kicking the last few weeks off with a win at the Thursday night 3K, she won the Island Vines 10K and broke the course record, then turned it around a couple of weeks later running 4th at the Green Mountain Half Marathon on totally unrested legs. Way to go, girl!!
Racing is just more fun with your teammates and it's even more fun when you dominate the podium! At the Downtown 10K, the Bones cleaned up and took home $325 in winnings with Adron (32:01) and Sarah (38:33) taking 1st on each side and Jonnie (34:35) taking 2nd on the men's side. Joe was 6th in 36:34.
In an attempt to remind themselves why they no longer run in circles, Erin and Myke toed the line for the last Mini Meet of the season hosted by GMAA. Erin rocked the 3K in 11:30 and Myke ran the 800 in 2:13, moving up from about 8th with 400 to go to just getting edged for the win. Mature racing at its finest!
The fact that I'm just getting around to writing this in September isn't a particularly accurate reflection of how long Erin has been running with Olde Bones. She reached out a year ago and we've spent a lot of time on the roads together since then.
Erin ran cross country and track for Elizabethtown College in PA. After college, she worked as an Assistant Coach for her team as she made her way into the post-collegiate world. Flash forward a few years through graduate school, a move to Vermont and the birth of her daughter Lillian and Erin is back on the roads again. Whip fast at the 5K/10K distance, Erin's focus right now is on the half marathon and she's considering Philly for the late fall. Seems like we're developing a pattern here at Olde Bones: run for MMU, go to St. Lawrence, take a break and come back to running refreshed and ready to work. That pattern speaks both to the strength of program at both MMU and SLU and to how important it is to walk away from running for a bit before you're ready to go to the next level.
Ethan is back to running and has been putting in decent mileage with a couple workouts a week as he gets back into it. His goals are to PR in the 5K and 10K, which he hasn't run in some time, and work towards a fall half marathon and the Indoor season. When I asked him more about when he knew it was time to come back to running, he shared the following: "I rediscovered my passion for competitive running by coaching track and cross country. Helping young runners achieve their goals fueled my own drive to become a better runner. As a runner, I live for the twisted, hilly dirt roads of Vermont. I'm looking forward to racing many different distances and courses, especially the half-marathon and maybe some less 'traditional' mountain climbs." Huge welcome to Ethan and best of luck this summer! Long story short, we crushed it as a team on a hot, humid day in Stowe then enjoyed awesome local brews and proudly took home three enormous steins for our efforts! Claws up.
Another Vermont City Marathon is in the books! Ben posted the fastest Olde Bones time of the day at 3:04:59. LT planned to run it as as training run for her upcoming 50K but felt pretty good and snuck in a PR of 3:21:41. Erin debuted in 3:48:11 and although she claims it wasn't her favorite experience, we're all proud of her first effort at the distance after a rough few weeks of training towards the end. With temperatures warming up, we're all coming out of hibernation. Last weekend, Adron, Sarah and Todd all ran local 5Ks and all scored the win. Adron kicked it off on Saturday, running a 15:11 at the Burlington Invite Masters 5000. On Sunday, Todd won the Champlain Classic 5K for the second year in a row with a 17:04, with Sarah winning the women's side in 18:44.
