Veterans weekend

Veterans weekend is here! It is also the mid month crisis weekend. Friday agenda-veterans day! This is the observed day, in which most people have the day off, including yours truly! Kudos to all veterans, alive or not, who honorably served our nation. Saturday agenda-race? This day is actually veteran's day. Here is what I considered for veterans day: 1. DC half 2. Nashville marathon and half 3. Orlando marathon 4. Myakka river half 5. friends of the poor 5k 6. soldier rush obstacle 7. fantasy of lights 5k * 8. key Biscayne lighthouse run 10k/5k 9. zoo run 5k You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). With enough local events, pass on the next 2. *Double header possible when done with a morning event. I wimped out and chose the latter (closest in proximity). Clint eastwood time: The good: finished a bit faster than last week, finisher medal The bad: rain prior, puddles on course The ugly: more twisty course, got bumped to 4th age plus only top age wins I must not do this one again! Sunday agenda-race? Here is what I considered for this day: 1. rnr las vegas marathon and half 2. make a difference 5k 3. beacon of hope 5k 4. ft Lauderdale 13.1 & 5k 5. golden beach 5k 6. Miami man tri/du You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). The last 2 were in Miami, while the latter was closest in proximity. I went to both but competed at #5. Clint synopsis time: The good: finisher medal, 5 oa The bad: rain, course (3x cul-de-sac) The ugly: no awards Summary Saturday, I lost twice- first, got bumped to 4 age, then informed only top of each places. sunday, I didn't get chance to place since it was a fun run (unbeknownst to me).
