DMSE and the BAA collaborated on the 2025 Boston 10K this past weekend. Although the weather seemed ominous on Sat, we all certainly “dodged a bullet” and were pleased with a “not so bad” day after all. Looking forward to working with the BAA on the Boston Half up next in Nov.

Fun to participate in the Bryan Lyons TriFury Triathlon this morning in Wilmington. It was very touching to be part of the “bench dedication” in memory of Bryan. A few of us gave some remarks about our personal connection with Bryan over the years.

Earlier this week was the 47th anniversary of the start of my run across America starting in Medford, OR. Five years ago, I revisited Medford, OR and the Mayor, Jerry and I re-enacted that original moment seen in these photos.

HAPPY GLOBAL RUNNING DAY It’s 24,902 miles around the earth. In honor of today being Global Running Day, I just got done running 24,902 feet. Someone once said, “my game, my rules.” How do you like them apples?!!!

TEAM HOYT MEMORIAL RACE Helped a bit and also ran in the Team Hoyt Memorial 5-Mile Road Race in Hopkinton yesterday morning. I was thrilled to be able to push Michael Murphy in the race. A special race honoring two inspiring friends, Rick and Dick Hoyt.

The DMSE Sports team just managed our next lululemon race in Miami. It was hot (high 80’s) but with the race starting at 6:30am all went very well. We had over 6,200 entrants in the race. It was a scenic, fun course going from Miami Beach over the causeway into Miami.

I’m not sure there is anyone more “down to earth” than Astronaut Sunita Williams. I invited her to be the commencement speaker at my Alma Mater, Merrimack College. She is so good, so kind and so generous with her time and her wisdom. She wowed the graduating class of '25.

Senior Advisor and longtime @bostonmarathon Race Director Dave McGillivray @DMSE has created "Supporters Medals" to give to those that have helped runners earn their race medals. It's a way for runners to say "thank you". Dave explains and you can buy them at the Race Expo. @wbz

My son, Luke, who is a freshman at BC is running his first Boston Marathon on Monday! He is running with his cousin, Charlie, who has run 3 marathons to date, including Boston. They plan to run together at a “slow” pace of 8 min a mile and finish in about 3 ½ hours.
