Achilles Run, "Stay thirsty my friend."

Sunday, June 1, 2008

and awaaaaaay we go!

did the NHP 8k-53 yards short of 5m for those of you who care. Beautiful morning, but REALLY hot. Makes me yearn for 4:30am running. ALL the usual suspects were there, surprising as there was a race next door. A 5k, scored by the peeps. But apparently most opted for the better run. The 5k was too "turny," i.e. too little race crammed into too little space. BUT, you DO get to run on the racetrack. Big whoop.

The blue women were there, odd no others. Odder still they didn't place, we had 2 Striders place, but in dif categories. Even more good news: we had Ray, Russ, and Debbie place @ the 5k. NICE day Striders!!!

This course was challenging, few rolling hills, no real hills, but real Alley Pond grist.

All the LIRRC peeps were there-yes, Big Bird too, all the GLIRC squad, 5 Striders, what more do you need?

Came back to the truck, a text message from Keith. Wiseass.

He, Tom and Tom's offspring will head to the Big Apple Circus next weekend. Would've gone today, but Spike is going through computer withdrawl.
