Boilermaker Challenge

I've said it every year friends, but this year, I figure if I put the proclamation out there on the blog... then maybe I'll actually do it.

Home in Utica for Boilermaker Sunday this year, I saw lots of friends running by... and every time I watch I think "I want to be a part of this" and/or "I could totally do this"... The truth of the matter is the Boilermaker is a 10 mile (more or less) road race through the city of Utica on what's somehow almost always the hottest Sunday morning of the summer. And next year I've promised to be a part of it.


Here are a few photos from this year's race.

The best part is the race ends with a huge post-party at the Saranac Brewery... this year about 30,000 people were there with me.

When next July comes around, wish me luck.
