Going up to support somebody in the marathon and looking for something to do? Not running the marathon but still want to be part of the weekend action? Try the BAA 5K on Marathon Sunday. Replacing the Boston Freedom Run, the 5K is a competitive race that starts at Copley Square, loops up and around Boston Common and then returns to finish at the Marathon finish line. Registration will take place entirely on-line beginning at 9:00AM on the 3rd of March and the race is expected to reach its 5000 person cap quickly.

Dear CCAC, This release just went out and may be of interest to your Tri club members. I thought I would pass it along. It has some great quotes from Triathlete Magazine and Kurkus Review about Know Regrets… “ Written in a fast-paced, breathless style,…Dynamic Action scenes move the story forward with gusto”

Post a link on your web, LinkedIn or facebook site as a ‘recommended read’ and or forward on if you think of someone who may like it.

Dear Cape Cod Athletic Club,

I’m writing to introduce Bayside Runner. Now open and located off Exit 5 (Route 3) in Plymouth, Bayside Runner is an independently owned and operated store for runners and walkers. We are committed not only to helping runners and walkers at all levels find the right shoes, apparel and accessories, but also to inspiring our customers to live a healthy life and to enjoy the benefits of being fit. We specialize in matching you with shoes that keep you from getting injured and make you feel good. When you come to Bayside Runner, we listen to your needs, provide a video biomechanical analysis of your running style, and recommend footwear that will keep your feet happy for miles and miles. We also have the apparel to help you look as great as you feel and the accessories to help you attain your fitness goals.

I have been a runner in Eastern Massachusetts since 1998, running for local clubs like Central Mass Striders, Reebok Boston and New Balance Boston. I wanted to open a store in Plymouth after talking to many, many runners in Southern Plymouth County and Cape Cod that are frustrated to have to drive many, many miles to visit a specialty run shop. As a an owner I bring my experience both as a lifelong runner and my work in footwear product management at New Balance and Puma International.

To support your running: -We offer a 15% discount on shoes, apparel and gear to members of your club. -During the month of February, the first 50 customers to buy shoes will receive a free Bayside Runner tech running t-shirt. -During the month of March, the first 100 customers to buy shoes will receive a free 3-pack of Brooks running socks. -In March we will start having group runs from the store.

Finally, please put Tuesday, April 20 on your calendar as Dick Beardsley will be speaking at Bayside Runner.

Happy running and we look forward to seeing you in store soon! Please visit our website at www.baysiderunner.com and fan us on Facebook under “Bayside Runner” http://www.facebook.com/pages/Plymouth-MA/Bayside-Runner/192798157614?ref=mf

Thank you, Adam Stuhlfaut, Owner
