Easter weekend!

Easter weekend is upon us !

Saturday agenda-race!

Seems like everybody tried to cram races today before the big day (Easter):

1. 10th Annual Run Like a Bunny
2. Mote Run for the Turtles
3. Women For Women 5K / 10K
4. butterfly 5k
5. sun smart 5k
6. egg hunt du/tri
7. alpheus 'hawk' finlayson 5k/10k (Bahamas)

#3 (women only) & #7 (out of FL) automatically out! #1 is too tough for me, especially in my current race shape. I like #4 & #6 but opted to save gas and stay closer to home, bypassing also #2.

I was here last year & remember doing good enough to squeak into the masters to get a nice plaque. This year was different. I had to deal with hot, humid & windy weather while battling against the return of an old rival. It used to be easy to beat him back then but this time I had to fight hard, doing a PR for the year to get past him in the last stretch. I did similar to last year but everybody got medals (they got cheap). I made the dirty dozen, top ten if the overall female is excluded.

Sunday agenda-Easter!

First, thank you Lord for giving us the ultimate gift, your only begotten son, to save us from ourselves. They tried to put him down, but he came back (resurrected) despite all odds! Don't know how a bunny or eggs got involved in our most holy holiday but it is what it is. My interpretation is that the eggs represent Christ, as you have to find them!

After the race yesterday, I got a severe headache & stomach ache so I had to squander the rest of the day suffering. This continued this day, so I had to cancel my long distance ride or even skate & forced out a 10k hood run. It was my first time doing it even though I always wanted to.
