This week, we were not in the cape ( i know shocker!) but instead we were in Lowell for the B52s concert which is part of the Lowell summer Music Series, We also stopped by the Blazing Saddles Summer Century (held by the North Shore Bike Club), and finally on Sunday we ended up in Gloucester for the 7 Mile Road Race, where if you read our last few blog posts you would know I was challenged to participate in the 7 Mile Race… How did i do you ask? well you will have to continue reading to find out.. i know cruel right?
Lowell Music Series hosted the B52s this past friday and to my surprise for a band that has been around for over 30 years still puts on a great show. while the B52s may have been the main attraction, Bear Naked was there giving out Granola treats to the fans of the greatest party band around ( so i have been told ). Rock Lobster anyone?
Saturday we stopped by and hung out with our friends at the Blazing Saddles Summer Century (held by the North Shore Bike Club) and gave out samples to all the riders returning from their 100 mile bike ride.
Now the moment you have been waiting for the Gloucester 7 mile Road Race took place on Sunday. Bear Naked was there re-fueling each and every runner coming through the finish line with Granola Parfiats.
So how did i do you ask ? well i survived, but then again you all know that if i am writing this post. In all honesty i surprised myself and everyone i work with finishing the race in 1hr and 12 minutes ( for someone who only had 7 days to train, Never once ran a race let alone a 7 mile race, and has Asthma) i must say if you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything. for my first race ever i must say leading up to it and right before the sound of the gun fired i was nervous till about 2 minutes into the race. in the end it was an amazing race! and the support of the fans along the track yelling “GO Bear Naked” and “I love Bear Naked Granola” made it all worth it!
Now here are the pictures from this week!
