Columbus day weekend

Columbus day weekend is upon us!

So far, I have discovered the following:

1. school is out but work is not, therefore I will have to work harder

2. still feels like summer (external conditions)

3. still having internal (condition) issues

Saturday agenda-race?

Here's what I considered for today:

1. spartan race GA, PA

2. super hero 5k

3. AVDA race 4 hope 5k

4. parkland dash
5. burger king beach run

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). I passed on the latter because I didn't feel like running on sand when there are standard events available. Of the remaining, I did the one I haven't done before, #2.

With recent struggles, it's best to sum it up Clint style:

The good: podium (1st of the month), beat all women, finisher medal
The bad: humidity, some heat, travel, 3rd age
The ugly: internal conditions, time

Sunday agenda-race?

Here's what I considered for this day:

1. Chicago marathon

2. Staten island half

3. Columbus day du/tri
4. shark shuffle 5k
5. run 4 life 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). I considered #3, having done that as a relay last year. been there, done that with #4. The latter was kind of a no brainer since I am an organ donor champion at work. The one who I interface with was pleased to see me at the start line.

With recent struggles, it's best to sum it up Eastwood style:

The good: podium, position (1st age) & time better than previous day
The bad: more heat and humidity, no finishers medal
The ugly: internal conditions, time, beat by a female
