Spring is here!

Spring is here! Well, it's actually officially on Monday.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here's what I considered for the last Saturday before spring begins:

1. clewiston sugar festival 5k
2. singer island half/5k
3. four paws 5k
4. palm 100 ultra
5. running with Danny 5k
6. fight for air climb

With a couple of local events, I pass on the former. The latter is not a running, so I skip on that; plus, it was in the opposite direction in which I needed to go for the next event. I decided on #3, the furthest on the east side. Clint time:

The good: finisher dog tag, 2nd best time of the month, cool
The bad: travel to race, plain looking cotton T
The ugly: bad age groups (10 year(cost me 2nd pl in normal cat)) plus only top overall and no master.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here's what I considered for the last Sunday before spring begins:

1. NYC half marathon
2. Georgia marathon
3. Excalibur 10 milers/2 mile dragon slayer
4. Sarasota half
5. fragile X run
6. hearts @ work 5k
7. Ives 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). I picked the furthest one on the east coast from the list. I entered only with the intention of completing the race and continue being in the series (no chance of an award). Glass time; half-

Full: finished, halfway through the series
Empty: almost 4 minutes slower than last year
