Spring is here!

Spring is here! Officially, as of yesterday but in florida, it felt like it began weeks ago.

Saturday agenda-race!

Here's what I found for the first Saturday of spring:

1. rnr marathon TX
2. GA marathon
3. support our troops 5k/10k
4. first Brazilian church 5k
5. running with danny 5k
6. the color rave glow run 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). The latter would have provided for a double header in terms of participation but it was a fun run, so I passed on that. I picked #5 because it was the first time being held at Hialeah park but not an inaugural. However, the course was, so rick (time keeper) kept saying that the winner will set the course record and everybody will have course PRs.

Check this out clint style:

The good: podium, top ten
The bad: no master, no finisher medal, ten year age
The ugly: late start, course (caused 2 mishaps) with last mile on dirt

Sunday agenda-race!

Here's what I found for the first Sunday of spring:

1. FL beach halfathon/5k
2. run walk 4 paws 5k
3. kendras kisses 5k
4. tribute to the military 5k
5. greenway bike festival

With enough local events, I passed on the former and with enough running events, the latter. Definitely skipped the latter (ride, not race). I should've tried #2 (don't remember doing it) but went tried and true. #4 would be the most logical (closest in proximity) but the venue was changed. I decided to keep the streak of attendance with the remainder.

The good: podium
The bad: 2nd age, medal instead of trophy, not top dozen
The ugly: course (5 hills), humidity, internal condition, 2 females in front

I wound up leaving injured and feeling worse than after a marathon; think due to illness & lack of sleep (loud music past midnight).
