Today's Run

Befitting our first run in October, this morning turned out to be both a glorious and unique morning.  After slogging through temperatures close to 80 degrees for the past several months, we were rewarded with a 62 degree respite and humidity down to 51%.  This definitely was not a run to miss.

 

We had a turnout of 20 or more people.  Remarkably, about 40% of the group were new faces and included both first-time local runners and visitors from Miami and Alaska.  I believe this is the first time we have had an Alaskan join us.

 

Local Upcoming Races

There is a 5K Pumpkin Run on Saturday, October 25^th at Mead Garden right here in Winter Park. For the first time, it will be a chip-timed race with age group awards.  The race benefits Haiti ministries by St. Margaret Mary and St Stephen Churches.  I'm hoping to run it with my 9 year old grand daughter.

 

The third race of the Track Shack race series is the UCF Fiver miler on Sunday, October 19^th.

 

Hope to see a lot of you at the start line for both races.

 

Long Distance October Races

Seth and Idanny were out there training for upcoming races.  Idanny is primed to do the Chicago Marathon and Seth is doing the Running for the Bay 50K in Apalachicola FL

 

Have a great week and come sample our Fall weather next Sunday!  In the meantime, have a great week.
