Holiday blues.

Holiday blues. I dub it that due to lack of races, such as none on Christmas. This is the final weekend of the year!

Saturday agenda-race!

I only found 2 for the last Saturday of the year:

1. south Florida fair 5k
2. resolution 5k

Since the latter was a fun run, the former wins! With a 7:45 start during the holiday heat, this could've been a disaster but fortunately, it was cloudy and not as humid as usual. Make my day:

The good: time way better than last race, beat all women, podium!
The bad: 31 oa, 2 ag
the ugly: long morning drive, time still not where I need to be.

Sunday agenda-race!

I only found 2 for the last Sunday of the year:

1. Jacksonville marathon/half
2. boca 10k/5k

I pass on the former due to distance, so the latter wins! Normal race start but much more humid and windy! The cloud cover kept the heat down somewhat. Do I feel lucky?

The good: won age group (podium), top dozen men!
The bad: 2 women beat me
the ugly: long morning drive, time worse than yesterday, weather

My holiday blues is my struggle to break 21 and make the podium through out the year. By the  grace of God, this was accomplished in my last race weekend of the year; praise the Lord!
