just got home from the police pumpkin chase 5k, in new canaan. missed the first quarter of the giants-steelers game, but still 3 quarters of football to watch. this course, which includes a cross-country stretch through waveny park, was much tougher than the 5k in wilton this morning. i managed a 21:49, which was an improvement over my 22:28 last year, but well off my pr for this course of 19:45 (2005).
here are the race results.

nice photo of Kate (and Tom -getting a PR) finishing -she looks ready for the Marathon!
Rob needs a shirt! wasn't it chilly?
sounds like one of my weekends!! I'll be back :)
Hopefully, Rob will show up for the Boston Buildup 15k shirtless like Guy Stretton used to. Me and Dave U. ran it in shorts 2 years ago when it was a balmy 15 degrees.
Roy
I don't think it was that cold on Sun. - probably close to 60 for both races.
OTOH, running the Boston Buildup 15k without a shirt sounds like a great way to end up in the emergency room. I think I've done that race 5 times, and it always seems to be on the coldest day of the year. It was 9 degrees in '04. This year, it was in the low 20s, and some nutjob ran it in a singlet.
Congrats on both races!
