Made me smile during the race. :) It won't be long before you are running under 26:00. You keep getting stronger and you have great discipline. Congratulations on winning your age group!

But know I realize that you did. I hope it is all in good spirits:) Congrats on hitting 50 in such great shape. BTW, when I was coming in your encouragement was what made me speed up the last few seconds of the race, helping me come in first for my age group. I don't htink I would have won my age group if it had not been for you. I came in at 26:29, second place came in at 26:34. Thanks!

I also think that next year we may have some WFAR volunteers involved to help out, too. I think they were just severely understaffed this year. The runners' safety is paramount and the segments on Rogers Road and South Main Street are major concerns.

I liked your quote: “Run with your head the first two thirds of the race and your heart the final third.” BTW, I waited to have water till the return trip, too, and they were out of cups -- no water :( For a # of reasons including the safety issues you mentioned, I will think twice about running this race again . . .
