3

3 seems to be the number! this is the first weekend of march (3).

Saturday agenda-race!

Here's what I considered for today (loaded with events):

1. sombrero beach run
2. run for the health of it 5k
3. s fl run for compassion
4. brevards zoo monkey madness
6. color me rad 5k (Lexington)
7. chain of lakes cycling
8. spring fest 5k/12k
9. fragile X

Eliminate the far ones-4,6,7,8. the latter was the closest but I passed on that to consider other options. I considered #1 but it was actually further than going to palm beach plus only top 2 in age categories, therefore #3 won.

I don't remember doing this one even though it was the 3rd annual plus it has been awhile since I've been to john prince park. External conditions were tough because it was quite cold (55) and very windy (-10 factor, I think). I had to wear tights, gloves & something to cover the ears. I heard the course was long but sadly, I surcame to conditions, both internal & external and failed to break 21. To add insult to injury, I got beat by the top 4 women; Inga was pleased as she finally got me and the master title to boot. By the grace of God, I got the last slot (3) in my age group. The plaques given out were nice.

Sunday agenda-race!

Not as many today but I'm do one of these:

a. chain of lakes cycling
b. autism speaks 5k
c. march for hunger 5k
d. tour de cure ride
e. iRun 5k/10k

3/3/13! I rejected a. and d. because they are non running events occurring while conventional ones are available. Even though I like b. and c., I passed on them for an inaugural event, e.

This one deserves the Clint Eastwood synopsis:

The good: knocked off almost a minute from yesterday & got a finishers medal
The bad: the time, still some wind
The ugly: lost 3 by 3 seconds, did not place (boo hoo)
