December 1, 2005    

  The thermometer said 34 degrees, but the howling south-west wind 
made it seem a lot colder for the Coffee O Fivers this week.  The 
steaming post race hot cocoa, brewed personally by Coffee Obsession 
owner Hugh Birmingham, was the highlight of the night for most.
      In a battle of iron women, Stace Beaulieu edged Hannah Longworth 
by just two seconds.  After the race Ms. Longworth pedaled her bike 
home into the howling headwind and Ms. Beaulieu trotted home, also into 
the frigid gale.  Everyone else jumped into their warm cars and drove 
home.  Laurie Fife, Joanne Corsano and Carolyn Bird rounded out the 
women's top five.
      The Coffee O Five is a weekly five mile run that is held every 
Friday night at 5:30 from Town Hall Square in Falmouth. Reflective running gear is
required in the winter and post race hot cocoa is supplied by Coffee 
Obsession.  The event is sponsored by Coffee Obsession and the Falmouth 
Track Club.  The first annual Winter Solstice Mile is scheduled for 
December 21st at the track behind the Gus Canty Recreation Center at
5:30 PM.
