Super bowl weekend!

Super bowl weekend! It is also the first weekend of the month. This year, its the patriots vs who? oh, the eagles! I am rooting for the underdog again and like I said last year b4 the falcons played (and lost), Atlanta can win unless:

1. under estimate tom brady and team (a 'big' lead at halftime is not a guarantee)
2. turnovers
3. insufficient drives (too many 3 and out)
4. stupid risks (like seattle did)
5. poor clock management

The same applies to Philadelphia.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here's my choices for this day:

1. best damn race half, 10k, 5k
2. pine jog 5k
3. run to the rescue 5k
4. im possible 1,2,3 run
5. walk for wishes broward
6. William f Boynton 5k
7. st Thomas alumni 5k

The former was the furthest while the latter, the closest, in proximity. I passed on the latter (original choice) because I took advice from runner mates and selected #6; in hindsight, good move. clint eastwood synopsis:

The good: top ten (4 oa, 3 moa), podium, raffle, start time (7 am)
The bad: only 1 oa, 1 master, cotton tshirts
The ugly: rain, award medal, I had to miss raffle to attempt double header

Event 2-walk for wishes broward

I didn't expect to make the start of this race, much less register, but due to the weather, I did catch the start. The late start (8:30 originally) allows for the double header attempt. I decided to walk the 5k (I don't want to further injuries). It was a high quantity, low quality race whereas I would've placed if I were able to sign up in time. They had a great post race spread plus had finisher medals.

Sunday agenda-race?

Super sunday selections:

1. Sarasota music half
2. Daytona beach half, 5k
3. Islamorada half, 10k
4. butterfly run
5. eagle 5k

I passed on long distance, considering only the last 2. This time I picked the closest in proximity (the latter). Clint time:

The good: finishers medal, post race spread
The bad: 8 am start, external conditions (hot (compared to previous day) and windy)
The ugly: internal conditions (felt bad), didn't place
