President's weekend

President's weekend is upon us! Rather than give Abraham Lincoln is props, 1 day was set aside to incorporate him & George Washington, which will be this coming Monday.

Saturday agenda-race!

Out of about 20 races in Florida, these are the following races under consideration:

1. healthy choice 5k
2. run of the meadow 5k/10k
3. walk for wishes 5k
4. together we see eye run 5k

Of those options, the Lord made it possible to compete in a double header.

Morning agenda-walk for wishes 5k

It was back to zoo Miami for yet another one. I did what I could but barely broke 20. Can you believe I was 3rd overall but fell to age group? Sadly, the one between the race winner & I was a master, therefore claiming that title. With only one overall & master, I had to settle. However, I don't know what I got for an award, maybe a generic medal. Couldn't stay for the post race so I cant elaborate on it.

Evening agenda-together we see eye run 5k

I'm not fond of night races but am of multiple events in a single day. Therefore, I took the challenge. Unfortunately, I was unusually tight & tired (morning run?). The top 15 finishers were to qualify to run another race at night, maybe on a weekday. Sadly, I fell short by 2 slots and shorter, failed to break 20.  Despite a worse time & position, I got a better award-trophy!

Sunday agenda-race!

I already predetermined to run the half but these events were scheduled on this day as well:

a. rnr Pasadena half
b. destin 50 beach ultra
c. A1A half/full marathon
d. tribute to the military

You can automatically rule out any out of FL race; a. Considering all my struggles, I'm not ready for an ultra; strike b. I like d. but need to do more distance running, especially during the season so c. wins!

To my dismay, I struggled miserably, logging in my worst time of the year. The wind & humidity was a bit too much, along with a problem with my foot. Also, I felt a bit tight & tired before I even started. Despite that, mission accomplished (got my medal) & yet another completed in the first quarter of the year.

Monday agenda-holiday

Happy President's day! Many, like me, had to work so I almost forgot.
