Mother's weekend

Mother's weekend is upon us. This celebrated day is tomorrow but really, they deserve recognition every day.

Saturday agenda-race!

Most events were squeezed on today to avoid tomorrow:

1. spartan race MT
2. wine country half (CA)
3. color me rad 5k LA, MI, OK, NE
4. mud run TX
5.run for the gecko
6. operation giveback 5/10/15k
7. save the tiger 5k
8. run for the roses 5k
9. ALS 5/10k

You can automatically rule out the first 4 (out of FL). With enough events within the tri-county area, cut 5 & 6. Since a team option was available, I passed on the furthest (7) and the closest (9).

Thankfully, the race began at 7 because it was quite hot and humid. The women got a 5 minute headstart and with the way I've been running lately, I couldn't catch my partner. This is the second time I teamed up with Emily and once again, we were second overall couple. Fortunately, my time was sufficient to take the last master slot. She won her age group so with both got double hardware!

Sunday agenda-race!

Happy mother's day! I will see many athletic moms at one of the events I choose below:

a. techzilla mothers day 5k/5 mile run
b. moms day 5k

This was easy for me; proximity rules!

It was hotter & more humid this day but let me sum this up Clint Eastwood style:

The good: got PR, broke 19, top master that didn't make top 3 (4 oa), close to home
The bad: course (twisty & short)
The ugly: race start 8:15, medal, no master title
