Halloween weekend!

Halloween weekend! It actually falls on Wednesday but everybody 'celebrates' prior since no races are on that day.

Saturday agenda-race?

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

1. super hero flash dash
2. trick or trot 5k
3. rescue 5k
4. down2earth half
5. Miami beach Halloween half and 4 miler

Although the latter was closest in proximity, I chose #2 because I never did it before. Clint time:

The good: podium (treat), finisher medal
The bad: 3rd age (I like to win)
The ugly: humidity hidden with cool start

Sunday agenda-race?

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

1. marine corps marathon
2. treasure coast Halloween half
3. wellington 10 miler and 5k
4. spooktacular 5k

While I have done and enjoyed the former, I passed on that (out of FL). Although not close, the latter was the closest in proximity. Eastwood time:

The good: podium (treat), finisher prize, weather
The bad: 2nd age (I like to win)
The ugly: late start (8 am), the course (riddled with twist and turns (tricks)

I feel so blessed to close out the month on the podium twice on the same weekend!

Ock two bray!

Ock two bray! that's how October sounds like in Spanish.

Saturday agenda-race?

Heres what I found for today:

1. Brooklyn marathon
2. Jacksonville half
3. every boob counts
4. race for the cure 5k
5. family fun 5k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). I went to the latter (closest in proximity) but made a tactical error and arrived with only 5 minutes to the start (began at 7 instead of 7:30 or 8 as I thought), therefore I didn't run since there were no more bibs & they wouldn't give me a t shirt.

Sunday agenda-race?

1. rnr Denver half
2. Detroit marathon
3. Rocktoberfest 10 miler
4. step up 4 downs syndrome.

You can automatically rule out the former 2(out of FL); I picked the latter (closest in proximity). Eastwood time:

The good: podium, top dozen
The bad: 2nd age (I like to win), no finisher medal
The ugly: late start (8:30), weather (humid)

In conclusion:

From zero to hero!

Columbus day weekend!

Columbus day weekend! It is also the first weekend of the month.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for the first Saturday of the month:

1. hard rock half, pink panther 5k/10k
2. stronger than cancer 5k
3. hustle 2 end hunger 5k
4. light ones path 5k
5. zoo run 5k

While the latter was the closest in proximity, I wound up doing the former (furthest). Clint time:

The good: top ten, won age group, finisher medal
The bad: time, generic style award
The ugly: racist indian wanted to limit me to 1 bread while allowing 2+ for everybody else

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for the first Sunday of the month:

1. Chicago marathon
2. dunn's run
3. parkland 5 mile/5k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). The next was cancelled due to red tide, leaving the latter. I completed 5 miles but didn't compete, so therefore no award.
