Craig and Martha- I find it especially appropriate that you're running the James Joyce 10K. Our resident philosopher and most eloquent writer running a race named after James Joyce - how fitting.

Gooooood morning!

Today was the Panhandle Heritage 5K in Valparaiso, FL.

Arrived at the Heritage Museum around 0730 and picked up my packet. I didn't see any of my teammates from the Sheriff's Office, so I milled around a bit.

Not many participants. Maybe 75 - 100. The race began at 0800 and off we went. The course was a couple of loops through the neighborhood, past the starting line and then finishing about a block from where we started.

The race director had no sympathy for us hill haters. A nice short, steep hill we got to run twice. The big meanie!

Finished in 33:26. Splits were 10:16, 10:54, 11:20, and 8:45 for the last tenth.

The only problem was with my sore left foot. It didn't affect my running, but I could feel it with just about every step, and it hurts right now.

Didn't stick around for the award ceremony. Too much yard work to do.

Nice race and will probably do it again next year. Next up is the Swamp Ranger 5K trail run on 5/6.

Vic,

Way to go!!!! Got to do a hill twice, eh? Lucky you! Hope your foot stops hurting soon.

By the way, is your split time for the last 10th right?

 

[keenercam]

Yay, Vic!!! Glad you showed the meanie race director what WISHers are made of!

Can't wait to hear from our other teammates!

 

[Optimator]

Great job Vic. Take it easy on the foot! Maybe just get DW to do the yard work .

I guess that's Florida for you. They only have 1 hill so you have to run it twice in 5K.

 

[Dennyha]

Great job Vic! Those hills are killers.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Vic, Great job completing the event! To me your times were fantastic. Glad you managed the hill work today.

 

[nucpharm29]

vic-WTG!!! Sorry about the double dose of the hill!
