Winter holiday weekend

Winter holiday weekend is upon us. Yesterday was valentines day and Monday is presidents day, whereas the weekend fall in between.

Saturday agenda-race!

Here's what I decided on:

1. Spartan FL
2. love the lake 5/10/half
3. 5 guys 5k/10k
4. fort Lauderdale 5k
5. run in the  meadow 5k

With enough local events, I passed on the first 2. The latter makes the most sense (closest in proximity) but I exercised the been there, done that rule. I haven't done the remainder so I selected based on venue and mid event won!

Both a 5k & 10k were offered. Let's sum this up Clint Eastwood style:

The good: won age group and top ten
The bad: furthest local race
The ugly: very cold, time.

Sunday agenda-race?

Yes and no. I only found 2, paradise coast half and a1a half/full marathon; I chose the latter. Yes, it is a race but I didn't race it. Instead, I agreed to anchor the 4 hour 2 person marathon pace team. We finished on point (only +5 seconds). It began cold, warmed up after 3 hours but remained windy. I left without major injury but did suffer blisters. Pleased to get in my long run and help others at the same time.
