Pre valentine's day weekend

Pre valentine's day weekend is here! That day is on this coming Tuesday, and sadly, I will be alone.

saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for this day:

1. 26.2 with Donna
2. race for faith 5k
3. barrier free 5k
4. cca 5k
5. family values 5k
6. cooper city 5k
7. out run hunger

With enough races in the tri-county area, you can automatically rule out the former. I decided on #4 and 5 to complete a double header.

Event 1-cca 5k

I started off great for the first mile (7:10) but rapidly diminished for the next two miles. After I completed this race, I had to leave quickly to get to the next, which means I left without knowing if I even placed.

Event 2-family values 5k

This was a free fun run. The previous event had a decent after party but I couldn't partake in that to get to this one. Check this out Clint style:

The good: free, long sleeve tech shirt, unique bib #, finisher medal, timing, decent after party
The bad: late start (good for me to do as 2nd event), 3 loop course with a sharp turn around
The ugly: only 1 oa male and female

This event was better than many I paid for; a must repeat. Naturally, I mostly walked this one since there was no chance of getting an award.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I found for this day:

1. I care, I cure, I run 5k
2. emb(race) 5k
3. run through central park 5k

This was a no-brainer. I sacrificed the first 2, in which maybe I could place for the latter because it is put on by the company that sponsors me-runners depot. I already knew I wouldn't place since it is a RRCA 5k championship race, so I came out merely to represent.

Check this out Eastwood style:

The good: long sleeve tech shirt, timing, decent after party, early start, trophies if you place, time
The bad: no finisher medals, time
The ugly: didn't place

In conclusion:

I completed 3 events this weekend, much like the good old days!
