Joel and mom at 5K upstate

Joel Moss gets a rare back-to-back blog post, but both are and were well-deserved. This photo is of Joel and his mom from a 5K race on Saturday. Joel won the race (of course) and his mom completed her first 5K.

Mrs. Moss had been telling us of a beginners' running class up in the Baldwinsville area that she was taking. She graduated with flying colors, from all reports that I received from my northern bureau reporter (she knows who she is). Great job, Mrs. Moss! We look forward to having her back down in Poughkeepsie in September for the Red Fox Trot 5K (yes, the course is tough, but you will do fine!), and possibly adding Mr. Moss to the ranks of 5K finishers as well by that time.

Note to Joel (and other recent alums): New Marist Alumni Racing Team singlets were ordered and will hopefully be available for distribution at our midsummer team BBQ in July. New this year: We ordered women's cut Alumni Racing Team singlets. All singlets are on us, no payment needed. All we ask is that you wear them with pride -- as you did for your four years here.
