Who's racing this Independence Day?

I'm doing the Let Freedom Run 5K in southern Maryland on a Navy base. Should be beautiful, along the bay. Then it's off to NH for Liam's funeral Mass, but he's an angel now. I hope everyone has a nice 4th!:x

Re: Who's racing this Independence Day?

I'll be running a 10K Saturday morning at Washington's Crossing, Upper Makefield, PA, along with the Firecat and Courir26, I think.

We've come this far and it's still the same,
Runnin' out here in the rain.
Just one more mile, if only you could fly.

Re: Who's racing this Independence Day?

Some of you may remember my post from this time last year: my Dad, age 72, entered and completed his first race ever. He set a PR at the local Watermelon 5K: 58:32. (No, we were not last.)

Several months ago, he vowed to improve his PR this year. He even started a training plan by measuring a route near his house which he has walked several times a week for the past couple of months. He arrived here Monday night, has begun tapering, hydrating, carbo loading and resting up for Saturday. I will, of course, encourage him to post a RR for you all.

(He is also here to celebrate my little fellow turning 5 years old today!)

Dig deep, people, you can do it!

Re: Who's racing this Independence Day?

I'm most likely doing the 10K, Len. I'll have a better idea on Friday and will know for sure by, umh, Saturday morning.

That's so cool, Karen! Go Dad and Happy Birthday Ian!!!

Good luck everybody!

Re: Who's racing this Independence Day?

Run well, one and all! There's still a chance that Elder Daughter and I may sneak into a local 10k, uphill the first half but with payback the second. With Grandfather 10 days away and my heel still healing from dog skiing into a hidden ground hazard, I might wimp out.
