Spring Training

Today marks the 40th anniversary of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination. A sad moment in American history. Yet today we also know the democratic nominee. Good info on NPR.

So work and work around the house has been keeping me busy. Despite a busy schedule I decided to take the opportunity to check something off my life list; the Dexter Ann Arbor half marathon. On my 4th run of the season I decided to test my fitness. Having completed an 11 mile run I registered. Four days later, I did my sixth run of the season last Sunday morning. The weather was ideal and I connected with a new and an old friend. Over an hour and a half after the 8 a.m. start I had sore legs, chaffed armpits, some blisters, and had gagged multiple times on the final climb. Yet I finished. Crossing the finish line my first thought was that I had completed a good run. I started slow and after warming I up sped up and ran my own race. My second thought was of points in the run when I could have shaved off some time. If anyone is interested enough you can see my results at www.dexterannarborrun.com and view photos at www.runphotos.com.
