image  Local shoe manufacturer Chuck LaBonte operating out of Hooksett, NH has built a substantial following with his simple designs and low costs but it hasn’t been quite enough to keep his business running through the challenging economy. So he’s recently announced that he’ll be liquidating all of his stock and closing the doors. All shoes, all models, all sizes are just $25 per pair and shipping in the US is free until the supply is gone. So grab a couple pair and say thanks to Chuck for supporting the local running community. [Vitruvian Running Shoes]

Anyone interested in getting onto a CCAC team for the Cape Cod Marathon Relay should contact Bill Masterson right away since the race will sell out and the relay teams field will likely be filled sometime in August. If I do not hear from you by August 10th, I will assume you are not interested. CCAC will pay the team entry fee for those teams where ALL members are paid up members of CCAC. The club fielded two teams in association with New Balance and Habitat for Humanity last year and both did extremely well – team 1 set the pace for the relay with a 2:29:16 finish which may very well be a club record for the marathon relay. Team 2 finished 5th in the mixed open division and 14th overall of 194 teams in a respectable 3:11:40. Come run with the finest!

  I visited John Worgan yesterday and was encouraged to see he has lost none of the fighting spirit that he always had. He greeted me warmly and was as gracious and hospitable as ever. Funny, too. As he says, "A man with a pig’s heart valve has earned the right to be funny!"
  When a person can be self-deprecating and humorous while undergoing a long series of chemo treatments, you relax a little, get the feeling you are privileged to be in the same room with a real man. Character is measured in many ways other than speed of foot or running accomplishments, and John has long had all bases covered. He is the rare businessman who was successful financially while never sacrificing the more personal side of life.
  John crewed me from his truck on many of my BB/BS solo Hyannis.-P’town jaunts, presided a term over the CCAC, hosted many a Grand Prix race, underwrote many worthwhile Cape Cod charities, hosted Cape Cod Baseball League players, even ran the 7-mile Falmouth Road Race AFTER double knee replacement.
  He loved running, and he loves runners.
  It is wonderful to see his lovely Connie, his true partner in this race of life, loyally by his side in this time of need. If ever I saw true romance, it is these two. Like their house sign states so aptly: Gettin It Right.
  Boy, do they ever.
  The Big C and whatever else John might be fighting must be quaking its shaking nerves in its dirty hole about right now, for it has fired its heaviest artillery at these two only to see their shining faces shouting we have only just begun to fight!
  Join in and support these two wonderful members of the club and send your get well wishes to:
  John Worgan
