February 27 Run

A baker's dozen of runners showed up today on a beautiful spring morning.  Our ranks were somewhat depleted to a heavy weekend of races.  This is Gasparilla weekend, and a number of the group were there (Rose, Liz, etc)

 

The only one who has reported in is Jake.  He did a blistering sub 1:05 15K on a hot and humid day, just 7 minutes behind Joan Benoit Samuelson!  A very impressive performance, Jake!!

 

Thanks, Jay, for pulling me through the last three miles.

 

On The Road

From Seth:  "I finished my 100th marathon today in Gainesville Florida.  time = 4:10. It was fun for 21 miles then it got hot but it was otherwise a nice day

 

I'll be gone again next Sunday since I have a 50K in Texas that weekend."

 

Congratulations, Seth!  I'm exhausted for you!

 

If I have the date right, Dylan is doing the Cow Town Marathon this weekend.  Let us know how it went, Dylan.

 

From The International Desk

Billy: "I'm in northern Thailand now. haven't run in over a week may have stress fracture from running on oval track at top floor of hotel."

 

On March 13 we are expecting a visitor from Winnipeg looking to run 13 miles.  (Jake has tentatively volunteered to help him along if he doesn't do River Run that weekend.)

 

I'll wish you a good two weeks since we will be out of town next Sunday.  See you on March 13.

 

Jack
