Here's a link to some fun video clips from early 80s races in Boston:

The link has some great clips of Patti Dillon looking fierce (Celtics 5 Miler?) in the days before anyone thought to make special gloves for running. Rod Dixon, Bruce Bickford, Allison Roe, and other running greats appear in several clips. If you click on "special events", you can navigate to other running clips.
Cool Sh*t! Thank you.
Was that malmo in the NB kit looking like he was balls to the wall?
And what is the M on the singlet Jan Merrill always wore?
The Milk Run, a couple of Freedom Trails, any others? Dixon, Bick, Meyer, Roe, Merril, Catalano.
Very cool, thanks.
I always thought the "M" stood for Middlebury, but I'm not sure.

She went to Connecticut College, though, so it can't be that...curious.

How about "Merrill"?
I think I had asked that question when I was training with Norm, and thought it had something to do with Mainz, but I could be getting this confused with something else.

How come the link doesn't work?
Too bad Romer won't see any of this because he told me he does not use a computer!

1)That is George.
2)Merrill's 'M', as far as I remember, was because her singlet was from the 'Mainz' running club in Germany.
I love the soundtrack. Do you know who recorded that? I want to buy a copy of the soundtrack.

That'll be me at 82 Freedom Trail. In other clips in that video I see Meyer, Bickford, Dixon, Binns, Halberstat, Vernon, Thomas, Rojas, Flemming, Mendoza, Kasich, Perkins, Catalano, Roe, Merrill.
Gotta love that music!
Kim Merrill was a super-hottie. What is she up to nowadays? Anyone got pics?
I think I saw Paul Hammond in there!
Allison Roe HO triple T mmmmmmmmm
Allison Roe; by far the most amazing beauty to grace the roads. Sigh.
