Looking back, I think my biggest problem was that I wore all red to an all-green race.
25:27, 26:19, 26:53. Those are my times from 2023, 2024, and this year. This year's pace was slower than that for the recent Medina Half-Marathon. I would be disturbed by this trend if I truly gave a piece of excrement. What excuses do I have, you ask?
- First, thanks for asking. It rained the entire time. I'm sure that slowed me down some. Yeah. Sure.
- The grass was high. The race takes runners around several grassy areas, and those were not so recently mowed.
- I been running a lot lately. Maybe I should've tapered for this.
- My friends were there, and we all had a bunch of fun. You can't have fun and run well, can you?
I mentioned the fun factor. This is a friendly community race to benefit Highland Schools. There are gobs of kids and lots of family fun stuff going on. My friend Julie Boggs is the de facto race director. She has taken over from Theresa Wright, who continues to help. What's not to like?
