Mother's day weekend

Mother's day weekend is upon us! Normally great, but this year, it is somber for me; it will be the first year without her, as she passed away last year. For everyone else, enjoy.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here's what I found for today:

1. santa Barbara wine country half
2. women for women 5k
3. live like jake 5k
4. Haiti 5k for hope
5. covenant house 5k
6. orange and blue track and field
7. ryan mandel 5k
8. goals not guns 5k
9. lou Gehrig's 5k/10k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). The next, I didn't qualify to run (women only). The last 2 were in Miami, with latter was the closest proximity; I passed on that for the other, since I never did it before and you cant beat the price (free). Only caviat was that it was a fun run. Glass time: half-

Full: free, bib number, tech shirt, finisher medal, post race food, mile markers
Empty: course, no clocks, no awards, parking (however, plenty of pay spaces), late start delayed, heat (ties a record from 1985)

Sunday agenda-race?

Here's what I found for this day:

1. tinkerbell half
2. 13.1 Greensboro
3. mothers day 5k
4. Miami cancer 5k
5. go run 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). Not as many events to do (half). The latter 2 were closest in proximity but I opted for the other. clint synopsis:

The good: podium, finisher medal
The bad: 2 age, medal
The ugly: rained prior, humidity

Of note: from zero to hero on Mother's day.
