A new running club has been formed from the ashes of the long dead Deer Park Road Runners Club. The Unlicensed Villains Running and Social Club has been making some appearances at races around the Island since November. You will know us by our distinct Jolly Rodger / Venture Brother inspired shirts.
The State Parks winter Run Series has seen 100% of our membership show up at every race. It is less impressive than it sounds. There are only three of us.
On January 10th the kick off to the Winter Run Series was held at Hecksher State Park. It was as cold as you would think a run on the Great South Bay would be in the Middle of January. Team Results for the 5k.
Kevin - 22:57 (net)

On January 17th the Winter Run Series continued with a 5K at Robert Moses State Park. Also cold. Team Results for the 5k.
Kevin - 22:03 (net)

On January 24th the third race of the series was held at Camusett State Park. Cold with a chance of hills and more hills. Team results for the 5k.
Kevin - 21:18 (net)
Dan - 27:47 (net)
John - 29:42 (net)
Final race is Sunday the 31st at Jones Beach. While it is pretty certain that Kevin shall sweep for the honor of being fastest team member, the race is close for second.
I continue to train for 26.2 in November. Averaging about 15 miles a week currently and working my way up.
Upcoming Races.
1/31/09 - State Parks Winter Run Series Jones Beach - a 5k to finish off the series of four.
2/27/09 - Joe Latino 4x2 Mile Winter Relay - A four person two mile leg relay at Sunken Meadow. Snake and Cardiac Hill are calling to me and I am letting it go to voicemail.
3/13/09 - Lazer, Aptheker, Rosella & Yedid Kings Park 15k - billed as a Tough course with rolling hills. Kevin is trying to get me to agree to this one. My sense of self preservation is saying no.
