It’s been a while since I have run one of the Monday Night Fun Runs hosted by the Colonial Road Runners in Raynham, Massachusetts but the calendar was open this past Monday evening so it was just a hop, skip and a jump over to the starting line for this week’s run. Hosted weekly, this 3.25 mile run kicks off at 6:30 PM and takes runners on the same course each week. The race is the best bargain around with just a $2 entry fee which comes complete with timing and post-run refreshments, as well!

This Monday was an intense night to pick to return to the course as the humidity and heat was something fierce and certainly something to be contended with. It was roughly 90 degrees and the humidity made things feel like you were running in a sauna for the race. The course has some nice hills mixed in for good measure and thankfully a water station was right around the halfway mark hosted by Dennis Gallagher for State Representative.

I’ll take the hot weather over the cold any day of the week and the sweat accumulation post-race was not for the faint of heart. I finished up the race with a time of 27:49, good for 8:33/miles. Hope to be able to make it back over to Raynham soon enough for another one of the Monday night runs!
