Ms. Weiner’s L-T blog update

Happy New Year Lincoln-Thomson family! It has been awhile since I blogged so…..here’s what I’ve been up to:        

Ran a virtual half marathon (13.1 miles) in memory of the children and staff of Sandy Hook Elementary School. My bib has the names of the children and staff who died. I ran through Nahant, Lynn, and Swampscott!

Ran a  new year’s day race in Salem, called the Frosty Four. It was very cold and windy but I finished and was VERY happy!    

Finished a great book called The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach (his first novel). It is about friendship, baseball, and relationships , in general, and how people come together in time of need. It is fiction.

Check out my pictures and comments are always welcome!!

Off and Running Again....

Once again, Ms.Weiner is off and running. This time, she ran a 4 mile Turkey Trot in Davis Square, Somerville, MA. She ran it in 34:42 and placed in the 600's with 2900 runners!!!!

It was a hilly course around the streets of Somerville and part of Medford. She ran by Tufts University and many many fabulous restaurants (she was trying to decide which one she'll try one day).

Ms. W. loves Wes Welker so she had to wear his shirt since the Pat's were playing that day, and they won!! They beat the New York Jet's.

Where in the world is she running next? Who knows?

Presidential Election 2012

Under the direction of Mrs. Breen and Mr. Belliveau, the fifth grade hosted a presidential election at Lincoln-Thomson.  In following with the state of Massachusetts as well as our country, Lincoln-Thomson students unanimously re-elected President Barack Obama.

Ms. Weiner is off and running....again!

 

One of Ms. Weiner's favorite activities is running, Last year at this time, she ran the NYC marathon, and this year, she drove up to Freeport, ME to run a race called The Great Osprey 10K (6.2 miles) in Wolf's Neck State Park. "I always wanted to hike the trails in this park, so this race gave me the perfect opportunity to visit. The weather was perfect too!" Ms. Weiner said.

Even though it was a hilly course, she ran a quick pace (8:47 a mile) and placed 101/232 overall, and 5/16 in her age group. Needless to say, she was VERY happy!
