Jingle bell weekend I

Jingle bell weekend I has arrived. Prior to the weekend, on hump day evening, there was the boca pal holiday mile. I couldn't make that due to the distance and start time; besides, I don't measure up to the times required to place these days.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here's what I found for this day:

1. Bonita springs ymca 5k
2. classics by the sea 5k/10k
3. river run 5k
4. jingle bell run ft laud
5. jingle bell run ymca

With enough local races, you can eliminate the former and skip the  next 2 (palm beach). Of the remaining, I picked the latter (closest in proximity). Clint Eastwood time:

The good: podium, finisher medals, first trophy of the year, cool weather, pancakes
The bad: wind, 2nd age (I like to win), no staple food (bananas, oranges)
The ugly: sick (affected time), age cat changed to ten

Sunday agenda-race?

1. Honolulu marathon
2. Jeff Galloway 13.1
3. cape coral marathon
4. run for tomorrow half/5k
5. burger king 5k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). With enough local races, you can eliminate the the  next 2. The latter was closest in proximity but I wanted to do other. Unfortunately, due to illness, I didn't race at all. :(
