Today's Run
We're halfway through September with very little let-up in the heat. We had about 16 runners ignoring that fact and showing up. This will be Bob's last run as a
Eamonn, our lost sheep, turned up for a ran and breakfast at Panera's Always good to see you, Eamonn, even if we give you a hard time.
Yesterday's Rock & Run 5K
Seven of the group showed up for race #2 of the Track Shack Running Series. (Dawn, Rose, Barbara, Jennifer, Arwa, Bob and me). Bob & I took a 1st place, Rose a 2nd and Barbara a 3rd place. Jennifer, the youngster of the pack turned in a blistering 6:37 pace!
The back story on Bob and me is that Bob threw the race so that I could extend my one race streak of placing first in my new age 80 group. Bob is a much faster runner than I, He stayed with me and actually slowed down to finish with me. When we reached the finish line in lock step, he insisted that I cross one second in front of him. Luckily, I was able to snitch to Betsy Hughes what he had done and they gave both of us first place trophies. A first!! Here are the 161 year old men: (Courtesy of Arwa)
5K & 15K Annual Miracle Miles next Saturday
Not sure who all is running, but Arwa, Geralynn and I are signed up. As of today, I am a little bit dicey, since I pulled something in my left leg this morning. Keep in mind that Ben is handling parking at St James School lot just off Robinson and very convenient to the race start at
