Good Luck, Congrats, and a 5k

Good Luck: Misty and Elaine are traveling to Williamsburg this week to Colonial Half Marathon. You may not have noticed, but both ladies have been quietly building up their miles, and should have a great race. I am not certain if they are more excited about the 13.1 miles of running, or the eight hours of shopping that will follow. . . Good luck Misty and Elaine!

Congrats: While most of us were racing the Sweetheart 5k, one of us was preparing for a marathon. On Sunday, Frank Lilley ran in George Washington's Birthday Marathon in Greenbelt Maryland. The race is a triple loop on a non-closed course. Turns out the course has a fair amount of traffic, and a pretty sizeable camber to the road. Those two things do not add up to a comfortable run. Never-the-less, Franck pushed through and ran a 5:41:47. This time was good enough for first place among North Carolina finishers. Unfortunately Frank did not win his "Name Group" as the overall race winner was also a Frank (Frank Leiter of Harrisburg, PA).

5k: If anyone is interest there is a 5k at Wesleyan tomorrow morning. I know very little about the race, and do not expect a big crowd, but it might be a fun option if anyone is looking for a race. I expect age group awards would be very possible for the RMEC. Look under upcoming races to the right for a link.
