So far, those who have been visiting have given great reviews on my new blog adventure. I have some new ideas that I will be sharing soon so stay tuned.
Just a quick up date: I have two weeks until St. Louis Marathon. Taper is in full swing and I feel strong. The goal, 3:10 is within reach. The path and quest is right around the corner. I hope for nice, dry weather so the spirits will be soaring. I know that the energy level on the morning of the race will be high and I will be contributing.
Last weekend, March 16th I ran the St. Pats 5k. It was nice day for a quick 3.1 and people showed up by the hundreds. Largest number of runners to date, almost 500. A shout out to Bill Reed the race director and to the local sponsors Schooners, Reeds Sporting Goods and the US Marines. Thanks guys for a great race.
The race started at 1:00, and when the gun went off it was on. My 14 year old Zach, was in the race and he started out right next to Brandon Moen, the eventual winner. The race had a fast start as most 5k's do, but this one was different, I was up with the fast guys, but not the really fast guys. Brandon took off with Zach in tow. Zach stayed off all the competition until mile 2 when he was passed by a few strong finishers. At about 2.5 I yelled to Zach to pick up the pace. Down the last 1/2 mile stretch I attempted to catch up with Zach but ended up finishing right behind him.
Finishing time 18:32, 2nd age group, 10th place overall, Zach's time 18:27 , 1st age group 9th overall and the winner Brandon Moen 15:21.
Just pumping up the confidence was the goal: accomplished
until next time
