Labor Day 2024

Running Update:

I finished my 15th New Haven Road Race this morning!  Love this race.  (Read my paean to theNHRR from 2019 here.)  It was warm and humid for the race today, but not as hot as some years.  As usual, the people of New Haven turn out!  Thousands of participants in the half marathon, the 20K, the 5K, and the Kids Fun Run.  Even the mayor runs the 20K!  And I’m always amazed and humbled at how many people come out to watch.  These folks get up early on Labor Day—everyone’s day off!—to cheer on us crazy runners.

At the start

Jane's neurologist, Dr Laura Ment, even runs the half marathon (at 75!)

I love this year's Elm City theme

 Next up:  the Berlin Marathon in 27 days!


Jane Update:

Jane’s summer activities included volunteering at our local library, visiting family in Canada, and getting her driver’s license!  School has already started, and soon she’ll be working on college applications <3
