The Striders had a great run at the Run the Goose 7K race in Gloucester on the Monday holiday, at what could’ve been billed as a swamp/obstacle run. Kate Gage and I got a preview of the race course before the race, so we know what lay in store for the runners – shin deep mud puddles, knee high weeds, and (if you were very unlucky) something left by a dog.
