Memorial day weekend is upon us! While most are out enjoying themselves at a beach or party, such as urban beach weekend, many have paid the ultimate price to protect our freedom. A moment of silence. I give props to the troop and hope you do the same. Remember, freedom isn't free!
Saturday agenda-race?
Nothing local but found these events:
1. Sammy's run 5k (Sarasota)
2. run & water safety day (Melbourne)
To mitigate damages, I passed on those and decided to crosstrain. I pulled out my inlines & rolled for 12 miles, followed by a couple of striders.
Sunday agenda-race?
I actually found a local race with 3 events, 5k, 10k and a half but it's the off road variety. I cant risk further injury, plus I was with someone so I passed on that and opted for more training. I did a mid day ride. I remembered why I don't start training really late (noon) after feeling so exhausted from the external conditions (heat, humidity & wind). It didn't help that I was kind of tired as well.
Monday agenda-race!
Many races today but I only considered 2:
a. memorial day 5k (boca)
b. weston memorial 5k
I usually do the latter (major league) but since I never did the former, this is the year to give it a shot. Praise the Lord, I made the right decision. I struggled as expected with both internal & external conditions and blessed enough to place 2nd in my age group despite these issues. I wouldn't have had a rats chance with that dismal time in the other one. Decent post race & I like the plate as opposed to a generic medal.
I complete the weekend and month with roll, ride & run!
