...have Mark's street address, as all he'd given anyone was his post office box, but I remembered him telling me at one point that he worked in a health food store. Unfortunately, there were no health food stores on the main street of the working-class ghost-town of Ayer. So, I stopped into the next logical place--a liquor store. Have you seen this man? I asked the clerk, flashing my picture. He hadn't, but he did have a phone book, so I jotted down all the health food store phone numbers in the area...

Few people take the time to explore the surrounding areas, which are actually chock full of scenic alternative running routes. Here are a few ideas...
...tucked neatly in between Burger King and T.J. Maxx on the town lines of Waltham and Lexington (hence the name), is a self-proclaimed party center. Able to accommodate up to 15 birthday parties at once, this rollerway is a child's delight. With games like skeeball, whack-a-mole and the claw, kids greedily collect the coveted green tickets which ultimately render cheap plastic totchkies. With just five wrinkled tickets, boys and girls can get sparkly geometric rulers, gold or silver sheriff badges or a plastic compass. For the more daring entrepreneur, a mini pool table or real...
