Double header opportunity presented itself with 2 pm events (4 and 5).

Morning agenda-holiday family fun day 5k/1 mile

event 1-5k

The good: finished and got finisher medal
The bad: impossible to place (10 age)
The ugly: external conditions (weather was lots of rain) and internal conditions (knee, foot, sick)

event 2-mile

The good: finished and got finisher medal, partially dressed Santa
The bad: impossible to place (no age, only top 3 oa)
The ugly: external conditions (weather was lots of rain) and internal conditions (knee, foot, sick), Santa pants tore up in crotch area due to the rain

Evening agenda-ymca jingle bell 5k

The good: finished and got finisher medal, podium! after party had pizza
The bad: 2 age, award medal (generic style), after party lacked bananas and oranges
The ugly: external conditions (weather was lots of rain) and internal conditions (knee, foot, sick), my time not posted but I knew I was 2nd, shorted myself with a time (looks like I didn't beat Humberto)

Sunday agenda-race?

1. reggae marathon
2. palm beaches marathon
3. scrooge 10k
4. jcc 5k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of US). With 2 local events, scratch #3. I planned on the latter until I saw the drizzle. With the bad memory of what I went through the previous day, I chickened out and did a 15k long training run instead; I regretted that decision in hind sight as I would've placed.

Monday agenda-events

The good: Hanukkah begins
The bad: back to work from a nice vacation (minus the illness and injury)
The ugly: pearl harbor anniversary
