Western Mass Athletic Club - Weds. 'Fun' Run

Last week at the Josh Billings Triathlon I spoke to a couple of runners that I know and they mentioned to me that when I'm in the Berkshires I should meet them for their Wednesday night 'fun' run.  Now I know that this group are serious runners, but I had no idea what I was really getting myself into.  We met at 5:30 pm and everyone talks about their workout for the night.  I was feeling tough (or so I thought) so I went with a small group up to the track for a speed workout. 
By the end of the work out, my legs were shaking, lungs burning and heart pounding.  It was certainly an accomplishment to have completed it and I'm glad that I got a chance to run with the group.  After our run, one of the members brought fresh vegetables from his garden and passed them out and we all enjoyed a beverage of our choice.  This group hosts races and group runs throughout the year and its a great group of folks.  You can check them out at www.runwmac.com.
