Shiver by the River 10K

2012-01-08T17:33:00.000-08:00

Mary and Patrick Boggs have resolved to run one race every month in 2012. They got a good start at the Shiver by the River in Muhlenburg, PA. Both of them ran the 10K. Patrick equaled his 10K PR of 47:04 while Mary smashed her 10K PR by almost 3 minutes, running a 53:22. They both hope the winter months will provide a good base for the upcoming races later this year.

Marathon Sports Jinglebell 5K: Somerville, MA

2011-12-18T15:49:00.000-08:00

A very jolly event for the New England NACHOs (and friends on NACHO!) on a cold and windy morning. A big NACHO welcome to new member Dave Crane who was the first NACHO across the finish line, and a big NACHO welcome-home to Susie who was home visiting from NACHO Midwest! A great race by all, and an awesome post-race party!

Jingle Bell Rock'n 5K/10K: Folsom, CA

2011-12-10T09:53:00.000-08:00

Big congrats to Geri, Mike and Anne for representing NACHO at the 1st Annual Jingle Bell Rock'n 5K/10K in Folsom, CA! Mike rocked the 5K, finishing 5th in his age group in an impressive 30:55! Geri and Anne raced the 10K and cleaned up in the awards: Geri winning her age group (49:34), and Anne finishing 2nd woman overall (44:19)!

O'Hagans 5K run, Auckland viaduct, NZ

2011-12-06T19:18:00.000-08:00

It was the first run for a new NACHO in sunny New Zealand. And it was sunny; Auckland harbour was resplendent. It was Peter Smith's first 5K race, and his first rocking NACHO orange. The run (as always it seems) is a little chaotic. It takes place at 18:00 amongst the rush hour traffic around the waterfront—but most drivers know to keep out of the way of the runners (and a few walkers). Peter started out too too fast, but settled into a steady pace and finished with a PR of 20:10 (official), which nearly two minutes faster than his previous PB. He was 19 out of 77 (and who knows how he did in his age group (M50-59).

Always a keen rabbit chaser, when passed by a runner at the 3Km mark he took the opportunity to wind them in, overtake them, and then to stay ahead of them.

What was the best part of the race? Aside from the a new PR it was the long cold drink at O'Hagans (an Irish Pub) at the end of the run.

Now he is keen to do a sub-20 5k—how hard can a 10 second improvement be—so he plans to be back soon.

NACHO has gone international!!

2011-11-14T11:28:00.000-08:00

Yes, we've done it! The power of the NACHO orange has crossed the PACIFIC OCEAN and landed in New Zealand! Welcome to Peter Smith and the newly established NACHO NZ chapter!!

Newport Bridge 4.2M: Jamestown - Newport, RI

2011-11-13T07:32:00.000-08:00

Amazing race for the NACHOs, despite only getting 5 hours of sleep the night before (not because they were up late, but because they had to be up SO EARLY - 4:15am!). Anne ran right on Brian's heels and finished 8th, while Jaime battled back from injury to finish 20th (out of 1112 women!). Brian continued his "I'm not really training because of my thesis but I'll "jog" it anyways" routine, finishing an impressive 64th (of 843). The NACHOs were back in the car and on their way back to Charlestown by 7:30am - not bad for a Sunday morning!

Oley Valley Country Classic: Oley, PA

2011-11-06T11:39:00.000-08:00

On 11/6/11, Mary and Patrick decided it was a good day to be crazy enough to run 10 miles. Patrick had plenty of training already and was ready to set a new PR. Mary was praying she wouldn’t die on the course. Luckily for both of them, they both exceeded their personal expectations. Patrick set a new personal best of 1:21:33 (over 2 minutes faster than what he ran 2 years ago). Mary survived, running 1:36:57 (and somehow she was still smiling at mile 9.5). Good job Patrick and Mary!

Blues Cruise 50K: Reading, PA

2011-10-02T05:45:00.000-07:00

On Sunday, October 2nd, Pennsylvania NACHO Patrick Boggs completed the Blues Cruise 50K in 7hours 27 minutes 32 seconds. This is a personal best for Patrick at this distance. Unfortunately, it is also a personal worst. The course was a complete loop around the Blue Marsh Lake, located just outside of Reading, PA. The course was comprised of: fantastic views, a stream crossing (which came up to the waist), 7 amply stocked aid stations, and a lovely wife timing at the finish line (please refer to Mary Boggs). As of Tuesday, October 4th, Mr. Boggs was able to walk again.

Jerry Garcia 4.2M: Cambridge, MA

2011-07-28T06:05:00.000-07:00

Well done, NACHOs!

Marathon Sports 5M: Weston, MA

2011-07-21T15:51:00.000-07:00

Hot hot hot! Not only were the temps over 100 degrees, but it was the debut of the super HOT NACHO sports bras!

Reggae Ramble 4.2M: Cambridge MA

2011-06-16T13:13:00.000-07:00

Those thirsty NACHOs were at it again for another of the Charles River race series! Great job everyone!!

Run to Remember 13.1M: Boston MA

2011-05-29T12:55:00.000-07:00

Congrats to the brave NACHOs who battled the heat to run this welcome to summer event in Boston. Ponying up to the big race (a 5M is offered as well), these NACHOs conquered the shade-less streets of Boston/Cambridge and finished strong! A welcome and congrats to Kate for running her first race in the NACHO organge and white!

Harpoon 5M: Boston MA

2011-05-22T15:10:00.000-07:00

A HUGE CONGRATS to the two NACHO teams, "NACHO Cheese" and "NACHO Beer" for their impressive showings today at the Harpoon 5 Miler in Boston, MA. NACHO Cheese won the entire team competition, finishing 1st out of 155 teams, and NACHO beer finished an impressive 8th out of an incredibly strong field. Jess dominated, earning a 6 pack and bronze medal mug for finishing 3rd in her age group! A big NACHO welcome to John for making his NACHO debut!

Congrats guys - welcome to the big leagues!

Run for Rachel 5K: Livingston, NJ

2011-05-22T12:34:00.000-07:00

NACHO superstar, John Ahearn, contiues to be the enthusiastic comic relief of the Mid Atlantic Chapter - not to mention a PR machine! Check out his account of another successful NACHO outing!

"So after running back-to-back Sat/Sun 5K's the weekend the NACHO's came down to Duc's (the first time I'd ever done back-to-back races) with great times in both races, I wanted to test myself and top my best time. I ran a 29:03 in April of 2010, and I knew I was back to that form, if not beyond. I found the Run for Rachel in Livingston, NJ, and after driving the course during the week I told myself I was gonna PR that bastard. Anything under 29 minutes was gonna be good enough for me, but I blazed it better than I could have ever expected, finishing at 27:50 (official chip time was 28:10, results linked below, but I'm a regular back of the pack starter, so I know I crossed the start line at the :20 mark). Feel free to paraphrase that however it makes sense to you, I'm actually quite intoxicated as write this..."

Blues Run 4.2M

2011-05-19T08:34:00.000-07:00

13 NACHOs came to play for the opening of the Charles River Summer race series in Cambridge! Too bad that there isn't a team competition for fastest group AND best dressed - these runners would have won the whole thing! With new NACHOs making their debuts and others setting PRs, this was a very successful event! With four more races coming up in the series, this is going to be a great summer!!!

Mad Dash 5K

2011-05-14T18:48:00.000-07:00

What a clash of the NACHO chapters! Jaime, Brian and Anne made the trip to the diiiiirrrtyy Jerzzzz...to meet up with the Mid Atlantic crowd for a really great little 5k. John suggested this fun jaunt through an office park which provided a rolling course and nice wide roads for the NACHOs to dominate. Anne and Jaime churned out top 10 finishes, and Grant, Tom and John made their NACHO debuts! A big thanks to Anne Z for her awesome photo skills!

ps: a lot to be said for the running after the shenanigans the night before!

Nashville Country Music Half Marathon

2011-05-01T20:20:00.000-07:00

The CHI Nachos traveled to Nashville for the country music half marathon on April 30th, some by air and some by car! Friday night was pretty low-key as we all arrived and prepared for the race. Saturday morning, we got up bright and early, hit the hotel's continental breakfast, and meandered the quarter of a mile between our hotel and the starting line.

The race went well for the entire NACHO team! The weather was great, and though the course was hilly, we all powered through. Josh even won 2nd place!! After the race, we grabbed free beer and munchies and met Ryan Hall who was there for a promotion. Some of us got free copies of his book, and he and Josh waxed nostalgic about their high school running days (they raced each other!). Josh's stellar finish got us all VIP passes to the Patron Platinum Concert for a pre-party before the post-race concert. It was a blast!

James Joyce 10K: Dedham, MA

2011-05-01T15:07:00.000-07:00

Free beer! Here come the NACHOs...

For a second year the NACHOs traveled south from Cambridge to Dedham to run the hilly, yet beautiful James Joyce Ramble. In it's 28th year, this fun event doesn't disappoint with spectators dressed in "period costumes" reading James Joyce along the race course. Nothing like a little "Ulysses" to get you motivated to run, huh? Well done NACHOs, with Anne setting another PR in the 10K!

Jamestown Bridge 10K: North Kingstown, RI

2011-04-23T13:23:00.000-07:00

Jaime, Brian and Anne traveled to Rhode Island for Easter weekend to take part in the the inaugural running of the Jamestown Bridge 10K. The three battled through some pretty tough weather conditions (rain, wind, low temps) and crossed the significant bridge not once, but TWICE in this challenging 10k. Free jellybeans at the finish made it all worthwhile! Check out the photos!

Doyles Emerald Necklace 5M: Jamaica Plain, MA

2011-04-10T12:26:00.000-07:00

Some of the Cambridge NACHOs emerged from their winter hibernation to breathe in the wonderful springtime air for this beautiful run on a Sunday morning. The course was rolling through the greenest part of Boston and the NACHOs enjoyed the lack of concrete and stoplights. This race will definitely go into the Cambridge yearly rotation for the awesome course and the free beer at the finish! Check out the photos!!

Shamrock Shuffle 8k!

2011-04-10T07:21:00.000-07:00

The CHI Nachos were out in full force on April 10th for the Shamrock Shuffle, the world's largest 8k and a race that rivals the Chicago marathon in size!

It was a hot day in Chicago, but the NACHO team powered through for an awesome race! After running, the team engaged in the NACHO tradition of beer and nachos (both breakfast nachos and carne asada style) at Heather and Holly's place - thanks for hosting, ladies!

Results and photos below:

Josh Yelsey, 27:01 (59th overall, 31st in Division!!)

Betsy Sylvester, 38:46

Victoria Carr, 40:21

Matt Gore, 40:45

Lonnie Mollo, 48:14

Nicole Yoder, 48:18

Heather Macleish, 48:18

Check out a NACHO making a difference!

2011-04-08T05:15:00.000-07:00

Laura Nadolski, a NACHO marathoner, is making a difference! Laura is running the Boston Marathon for the National Multiple Sclerosis society for a fourth time. Check out the article that her local news did about her commitment to running and to finding a cure for MS!

Cohasset Race by the Sea 10K: Cohasset, MA

2011-04-03T17:10:00.000-07:00

Why is it that every year that the NACHOs run this race do they look at each other after crossing the finish line and look defeated? This year was no different, with Jason, Jess, Brian and Anne all getting pummeled by the extreme hills and windy course of beautiful scenic Cohasset. If one jogged the course they'd see the AMAZING houses, GORGEOUS water views, and WELCOMING cheering locals...but these four ran hard and left nothing out out on the course.

SacTown 10M: Sacramento, CA

2011-04-03T17:06:00.000-07:00

New NACHO recruit Michael Todd rocked it at today's 10 mile race, setting a great pace at his first 10 mile race! It was a cold start at this inaugural race, and a long one too - with a 30 minute delay due to a passing sky rail! Hopefully they iron out the glitches for next year. Overall it was a flat but windy course. Geri had a solid finish, winning 3rd in her age group, and was the 24th woman overall!

New Bedford Half Marathon: New Bedford, MA

2011-03-20T16:58:00.000-07:00

Anne & Brian traveled up from Rhode Island for this event on a chilly Sunday morning to represent NACHO and the Cambridge Running Club for this Boston Marathon tune-up. As the first race in the NE Grand Prix, Anne proudly wore the CRC singlet at she set a half marathon PR on this challenging, hilly course. Running a 1:42:18, she slashed 6 minutes off of her previous PR and is definitely ready for the Boston Marathon on April 18th!

CRC women placed 4th out of 22 teams! Go CRC and go NACHO!

Website updates!

2011-03-15T05:33:00.000-07:00

Hey NACHOs!
Please be patient as we update the website. The photo section is a little bit behind, and we have new members to add! Expect an email update soon from Pen!

Ras na hEireann 5K: Somerville, MA

2011-03-14T14:31:00.000-07:00

Holy NACHO! Can we say, "NACHOs Grande?"
This was, by far, the largest most successful NACHO event ever, with 17 NACHOs and friends of NACHO participating! We had some great performances, with four NACHOs setting personal records and Sandra running her first road race EVER! The Cambridge NACHOs welcomed back Geri for a speedy cameo, and original NACHOs Anne, Mark, Brian and Lew shared a beer and told the tale of the first NACHO event back in the day...
Great running, awesome beer, and a migrating green mustache made it a great day for all. Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
Check out the photos here!

Run4Luck 4M: Lancaster, PA

2011-03-12T11:46:00.000-08:00

Patrick and Mary broke out of their winter-racing hibernation and competed in Lancaster's Run4Luck 4-miler on 3/12/11. The race was challenging in that a) new distance, b) over 700 people were racing around a small residential neighborhood, c) the first 2 miles were hilly, and d) Patrick has a conspiracy theory in that the mile markers were not placed in the right spot due to the 3rd mile that seemed like it too forever to complete. Regardless, it was a great race. Patrick learned the meaning of a good finishing kick after being edged out by another competitor at the line. However, he ran a 29:01, averaging a 7:15/mile pace and placing 70th overall. Mary surprised herself by having an overall race average of a 8:40/mile pace and finishing in 34:43 that placed her within the top 36% of the race (she thought she would be running a 9:00/mile pace and be MUCH further back). What a good way to enter the spring!

Lucky Seven 7K: Davis, CA

2011-03-05T14:14:00.000-08:00

Congrats to Geri Lake-Bakaar and Mike Todd for strong performances at the Lucky Seven 7K in Davis, CA!

Davis Stampede 5K: Davis, CA

2011-02-16T15:40:00.000-08:00

It was a chilly 50 degree start in Davis, CA as new NACHO recruits Kim Helmbold and Mike Todd lined up for their first 5K race as NACHOs. Overall, the race field totaled 3800 runners and walkers - which was quite a showing for a small town race! Kim and Mike started off for the 5K and finished together with a chip time of 33m:28s (507 and 508 overall out of 1006 runners!). Geri Lake-Bakaar started out a little later for the 10K, once the sun had come out and started to warm up the crowd (and runners). She had an OK race, not a PR, but still respectable finishing in 47m:43s (83 out of 976 and 6th overall in her age group). Not too bad for the first official Davis NACHO race!
Go NACHO!

Shiver by the River 5K/10K: Muhlenburg Township, PA

2011-01-02T13:41:00.000-08:00

The Shiver by the River 5k/10k road race in Muhlenburg Township, PA is unique in multiple ways: 1) it is a winter racing series that takes place the 1st Sunday of each winter month, 2) homemade chicken noodle soup is offered to everyone at the finish line, and 3) you could decide as you finish the 5k loop whether to stop or be insane enough to do another 5k loop through a rolling hill neighborhood (and funny enough, there are no rivers nearby). Patrick and Mary decided to run due to the unseasonably warm weather conditions and their desires to start their New Years Resolution on getting back into shape. Patrick raced to lower his 10k PR, which he EASILY accomplished, running an unofficial 47:08. While Mary was hoping to run for fun, she surprised herself in lowering her 10k PR as well, completing the two loops in 56:11 unofficially. What a good way to start the new year!

Jinglebell 5K: Somerville, MA

2010-12-19T13:52:00.000-08:00

Huge New England NACHO event with 11 NACHOs running and celebrating the holiday season with santa hats and beer! The Somerville races are huge, with close to 5000 runners...so the fast times were very impressive! Great job crew - with PRs and lots of NACHOs making their debut! Keep up the hard work into 2011! Photos of the festive runners found here!

Angel Island 12K Trail Run: Tiburon, CA

2010-12-11T16:05:00.000-08:00

Anne flew out to California to chill with Geri for the weekend...and why not throw in a couple of races! Geri was totally bad-ass, racing this incredibly difficult trail run 6 days after running the California International Marathon in 3:43. The girls drove from Davis down to San Fran for this event, parking in Tiburon and taking a chilly ferry to the island. The girls brought attention to NACHO right off the bat, with Anne leading the entire race field in the Star Spangled Banner before the start due to the fact that she had travelled the farthest to attend the race! With a NACHO shirt, the girls quickly became known as the “singers from Boston who like cheese!”. They both did very well, with Anne finishing in 1:08, and Geri right behind in 1:09. Great job ladies! Check out the photos!

Christmas Relays: San Francisco, CA

2010-12-10T16:03:00.000-08:00

After celebrating the strong finishes at the trail run the DAY BEFORE by drinking with the Golden Valley Harriers, the girls drove back down to San Fran for more racing! The girls met up with some awesome ladies from the GVH to race in the San Fran xmas relays: a competitive 4 x 4.45M event. All participants (including Geri’s dog, Rose!), dressed for the occasion! Check out the photos! Great race, good times!

Santa Hustle 5K: Chicago, IL

2010-12-04T16:07:00.000-08:00

On Dec 4th, Megan, Lonnie, Betsy, Julie, Greg, and Kim ran the Santa Hustle 5k in Chicago. Conditions were snowy and slippery (therefore slow), but the NACHO team donned their beards and santa hats with pride to plow through and earn the cookies and candies waiting for them at the aid stations along the way! Congrats to Megan, Lonnie, Julie, Greg, and Kim on their debuts as NACHO runners!! Check out thephotos!

Webster Turkey Trot 5M: Webster, NY

2010-11-25T17:06:00.000-08:00

Congrats to Jaime for her strong showing at the Webster Turkey Trot on a COLD Thanksgiving morning in Upstate NY. Jaime proudly wore her NACHO singlet for the first time over the moderately hilly course, finishing 14th in her age group in a competitive 33:59. Congrats to her and her Dad, Mike, for their great races! Check out the photos!

Newport Fed Pie Run 5M: Middletown, RI

2010-11-25T17:04:00.000-08:00

Brian and Anne justified eating their weight in turkey on Thanksgiving by racing a tough 5M early in the morning. Brian tackled the course for the first time ever, finishing in a strong 36:16, and Anne ran a course PR finishing in 37:59 (watch time - official results not found due to chip error!). Great job guys!

Lil' Rhody Runaround 8M: Charlestown, RI

2010-11-21T07:01:00.000-08:00

The Boston/Cambridge NACHOs and the Mid Atlantic NACHOs met in the middle (kinda) in Rhode Island for the 19th running of the Lil’ Rhody Runaround in Burlingame State Park. This CHALLENGING 8M trail run boasts a course which requires runners to cross streams, avoid roots and scale a rock face as they circumnavigate Watchaug pond. It was tough to pick out the NACHOs from the 298 runners as orange attire was required due to hunting season being in full effect. No one was shot, or broke and ankle or blew out a knee...so we call it a successful event! Highlights include Brent having a great race shaving 7 minutes off of his time from last year, Mary completing her longest race ever, and Amelia having a blast playing in the leaves! After the run all NACHOs returned to Dave & Cathy’s house for some post-race beef stew! Great day all around! Check out the photos!

Hot Chocolate 5K/15K :Chicago, IL

2010-11-06T11:58:00.000-07:00

NACHO Chicago burst onto the Chicago area running scene at the Hot Chocolate 5k/15k race on November 6, 2010. The team made a strong showing overall, including a 2nd place finish overall! It was a clear, beautiful fall running day and the NACHOs indulged in post-race chocolate goodies, then brunch including chili cheese fries (unfortunately the restaurant didn't have nachos on their menu...) The race was a great start for CHI NACHOs, and we new NACHOs were thrilled to hear "GO NACHO" from the crowd! Check out the photos!

Superhero 5K : Cambridge, MA

2010-10-31T13:06:00.000-07:00

This race always brings out the crazies...paging all Cambridge NACHOs! Running down Massachusetts Ave with unbridled NACHO-enthusiasm, 7 (plus Amelia!) athletes traversed the flat and fast 5K course with little wind resistance due to their spandex getups. With jeering cheers from Pete, the team ran well fueled by candy corn and the carbs from the previous night’s beer. Welcome to Jeff, making his NACHO debut! Check out the photos!

BAA Half Marathon : Boston, MA

2010-10-10T13:32:00.000-07:00

On Sunday, 10/10/10 (!) Jess (running under Henrichs for the first time!), Jason, Dave and Anne competed in the BAA Half Marathon over a chilly, hilly and beautiful Boston course. Dave, running in the NACHO uniform for the first time, accessorized with his CHI Bears hat (a shoutout to the CHI NACHO chapter?). Anne ran a PR, and Jason tore up the course despite a broken toe! Inspired by the enthusiasm of the team, friend of NACHO Jaime quickly emailed Pen Gwen soon after finishing to join this competitive team! Brian volunteered with the CRC and looks forward to running with the team soon. Check out the photos!

1st Annual MS 5K Bur-Run : Somerville, MA

2010-09-12T13:47:00.000-07:00

The Burren, a Somerville Pub, put on the 1st Annual MS Society 5K on a chilly Sunday morning. This was a great event for the NACHOs to combine their nacho-ness with supporting one of their favorite charities - the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The race was a success - 206 walkers/runners and 1 dog completed the HILLY 3.1 mile course. That dog was new NACHO member, Catcher, visiting all the way from Columbus OH! Susie and Catcher (clad in NACHO orange) ran the course in a very respectable time, earning cheers and praise from many spectators! Brian and Anne covered the course quickly as well, with Anne finishing 3rd in the open division! Great job everyone!

Jerry Garcia 4.2M : Cambridge, MA

2010-07-29T13:54:00.000-07:00

Krista, Anne and Brian got together on a sunny Thursday night in Cambridge to go through the motions of running 4.2 miles to justify free beer and BBQ. Yay, the NACHOs love these races!

Jim Kane 5 Miler : South Boston, MA

2010-07-15T14:02:00.000-07:00

The NACHOs had a great showing at this South Boston gem. Curt had his first race in the NACHO uniform and ran well, proudly representing the team. Anne ran a strong race, and found out later that night that she was the winner of the Athena division, earning her a big trophy! Yay! And Krista, Anne and Curt were interviewed by fivi.com...can’t find the video online, hopefully the team sounded and looked good! Great job everyone! Check out the photos!

Will Speck Memorial 5K :Cranston, RI

2010-06-20T09:08:00.000-07:00

Happy father’s day! For a second year in a row, Anne was able to drag her Dad, Joe to a land-based NACHO event. Joined by sister Mary and husband Patrick, and friend of NACHO Arlene, the team had a good showing at the Will Speck Memorial 5k. Anne, Mary and Patrick were a little tired from dancing late into the evening the night before, but managed to do okay despite the sore feet and blistering temperatures. Great job team!

Narrow River Turnabout Swim : North Kingstown, RI

2010-06-19T09:15:00.000-07:00

Joe, Brian and Anne dove in to this 1 Mile open water swim challenge on an early Saturday morning in June. Joe, as one would expect, had no problem with the swim, and easily cruised to a competitive finish. Brian struggled a bit, not having swam much recently due to fall marathon training, but finished strong soon after Joe. Anne was thrilled to have survived the event, and looks forward to more land-based opportunities in the future. (ps - Kudos to Brian for immediately transitioning into a 14 mile run at the end of the swim!)
