Well it has been an interesting two weeks. This is the first time I have run three races on three consecutive weekends. And that is including a 50K (Earth Day 50K) just two weeks prior to this. It started on May 6th with the Palos Southwest Half-Marathon. I ran 1:46:59 for 116th place out of 658 and 4th out of 17 in my AG (60-64). Next on May 12th was the Starved Rock Marathon which I have finished all 5 years it has been in existence. Again, a pretty successful race in 3:57:37, good for 42nd out of 176 overall and 2nd out of 6 (60-64). The capper was today, May 19th. I had a great day at the Galena Sky 8 Hour at Chestnut Mountain Resort. A fun, but tough course with about 4500 feet of elevation gain. My distance was 42.65 miles in a few minutes under the 8 hours. I ended up 6th out of 86overall and 1st out of 5 AG (60-69). I definitely had a good day. The overall positions aren’t that impressive, but I am 63 years old and being in the top 20 to 25 percent against all this younger competition can’t be all that bad.
