Master runner

wasn't really planning on racing but felt obligated to race seeing how i work with the kids that go to the school that the proceeds go to and my wife works there.. I took off and built a nice gap and just cruised on to the finish.. I knew with the wind and heat that i would not be anywhere close to a pr so i did what i had to and got the w. 

Wind was 30-40 mph gust from the s and it was low 80's 

Won a free message membership to message Envy..

8 hot and sweaty ones  one the dread.. Prob lost 5 lbs

took it easy today...even took out the dog for a mile or so.

Went to a low key race out in Cashion that had some cash prizes for top runners. I ended up winning on a long course that was not even certified..

Had a big surprise when i showed up at the start/finish line and no body was there...i drove down to a small diner and asked them about it and they said it was at the school. I showed up and signed up at the school and asked them about the course and was a bit confused when they showed me a picture of the map that i had, except they penciled in the start/finish at a random point in the parking lot (which by they way was not a part of the measured course). I pointed out the problem to the clueless race director and she informed me that they had adjusted the course on the turn around???this mounted up even more questions as to how the timers randomly picked a spot and threw out their mats. Ha 

Well i was there to just try and win some money so i wasn't too concerned about having an accurate course just so long as i got in the money. 

We started about 2-3 min late and the wind wasn't too bad but you felt it as you ran directly into it. All together about 1 mile into. I took off and led the whole way. My garmin showed me at 3.17 so it wasn't too long. Won a 100 bucks and a 20 dollar gift certificate to the local diner..went down with the 2nd place guy and Donny Harris and grubbed out.
