Vernal equinox (spring)!

Vernal equinox (spring) is here !

Saturday agenda-race!

There are a plethora of events today:

1. 13.1 NY
2. dances with dirt
3. race for research half
4. get your rear in gear 5k
5. palm 100
6. riverwalk run
7. 5k race to end homelessness

#1=out of state; strike 1. #2=adventure race; strike 2. I was not invited onto an ultra team (#5) plus been there, done that; strike 3. I like #6, which features both a 5k & a 5 miler but also been there, done that. I haven't done #4 nor #7 but chose to do 1 more distance event to set a new record: competing in ten half marathons within first quarter of a year, 2 were relays (partial distance).

The external conditions were good (cool) but not my internal conditions. When the dust cleared, I suffered symptoms of plantar fashitis & was limping all day thereafter. It was an o.k. time that would've been better had it not been for a fat volunteer who seemingly stopped in front of me on purpose, breaking my stride. From that point (about mile 11), I was unable to recover & went downhill from there. This race was not on my schedule so I did good considering I didn't prepare for it.

Sunday agenda-race!

A few to choose from:

a. rnr Dallas
b. Kendra's kisses 5k
c. i run to stop ms

You can automatically rule out a.; out of state. I like both b. & c. but opted for the latter due to proximity. Considering injury & tightness from yesterday, I was hoping to get lucky placing 3rd with just under a 21. Well, God works miracles. Despite the odds stacked against me, I finished under 20, won my age group and made the top ten! Unfortunately for me, I couldve won the race at my best (back in the day), masters at my race condition a couple of years ago. I strive to return to that.
