Final weekend of june

Final weekend of june is upon us!

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for the last Saturday of june:

1. napa valley half
2. Spartan race MN, UT
3. siesta key tri/du
4. down2earth cross country run 10k/5k
5. foam glow 5k
6. freedom 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). I passed on the next (furthest race), #4 (grass, dirt, etc) and #5 is out because it is a fun run. Therefore the latter won but unfortunately, a sudden injury occurred (left hip) so I completed it as an easy training run.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for the last Sunday of june:

1.  down2earth trail run half/10k/5k
2.  down 2 nite 5k trail run

Not much to choose from. With having enough trouble with normal turf, I passed on all and sadly, close out the month with only 2 races completed. That was the bad news. The good news is placing 100%. I pray next month, although with few events, will be much better.

Father's day weekend

Father's day weekend is upon us! sunday is the recognized day but also officially begins summer on the calendar.

Saturday agenda-race!

Here is what I found for the last day of spring:

1. grandma's marathon
2. biggest loser half IL
3. run for the sea
4. sugden stride 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). The next, although on the same coast as I, was a 4 miler, so I chose the latter. Nothing to write home about, so clint, take it away:

The good: podium,5 deep age awards
The bad: hot and humid, medal, distance
The ugly: double dip bumped me to 4th age

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I found for the first day of summer:

1. vancouver half
2. fathers day 5k
3. mr trilogy #1

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). The next seemed to be a fun run and if I struggled in a 5k, definitely not ready for the latter, so I opted to train on my inlines.

Mid month crisis

Mid month crisis has arrived once again! Well, close enough anyway.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here's what I found for this day:

1. rnr seattle marathon
2. cpr 5k
3. nw express track and field

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). The latter actually began on Friday and goes through sunday. It was held at a new venue (broward). if my lady wasn't in town, i may have considered it. I actually signed up for the remainder but it proved to be too far of a drive, therefore I settled for a light workout with my lady.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here's what I dug up for this day:

1. muck rabbit trail run 11k/6k

So far, this is a nightmare weekend for a runner like me. I had to pass on this race (the only one I found) because I couldn't guarantee I could complete the event and get my lady to the train station in time, not to mention the morning drive; more training.

First weekend (June) is upon us!

First weekend (June) is upon us!

Saturday agenda-race!

Here is what I found on the first Saturday of the month:

1. Chicago 13.1 marathon
2. Spartan race NY, CA
3. muttsquerade 5k
4. fight 4 air climb

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). The latter was the closest one, but not a 5k (stairs). Therefore, I  did the remaining event.

Back to clint style:

The good: podium
The bad: hot, humid, 3 age (I wished for 1st)
The ugly: fell out after finished and was forced against will in ambulance to hospital with threat of arrest (cop was present).

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I found on the first Sunday of the month:

1. the biggest loser half/5k PA
2. run for the ribbons 5k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). Guess what I did? Wrong! I actually decided not to race due to the medical mishap the previous day.
