mid month crisis (Sept)

mid month crisis (Sept)! My dilemma continues, unfortunately.

Saturday agenda-race!

I found a few events:

1. Jeff Anna's firefighters 5k
2. prostate cancer 5k
3. ups 5k
4. coach to first class cross country

The latter was put on by a very good runner friend but I usually race 5ks. I chose the second over the remaining because I still have a bad taste in my mouth over paying more to get less (ups failed to deliver a tech shirt due to me) and the former was the furthest away.

I could still feel the humidity (& heat) despite overcast skies & rain (prior to start). I always hate racing at Huizenga park because of the course (bridge x2) and parking. Now add wet ground! For some odd reason, I struggled very bad, with times get progressively worse per mile. Despite a dismal time barely breaking 21, I got 3rd; Praise the Lord! Allan W showed but decided not to race, allowing me to squeak in & onto the podium. It was tougher also because only 1 master title given. All who placed got medals.

Saturday agenda-race?

Happy rosh hashanah! I was aware of a race (hooters to hooters 5/10 k) on the west coast, but just like the weather, I was feeling gloomy and on top of that, must regulate expenses since gas went up. Pulled out my bike and trained in the rain since I'm gonna need it for next week. Afterwards, cut grass until the gas ran out.
