Forecast is wet and chilly. The course is hilly. And the 10K for Willie.
Briefly considered taking Greg up on his offer to hop in the 25K, opted for the accompanying 10K instead, will settle for another “Fat PR”, building my rotund resume one race at a time.
My old buddy Mr. Fabulous may kiss his American Record of 1:14:21 goodbye in less than 24 hours. Fernando Cabada set the AR here back in 2006, time to put that puppy to bed. Matt Tegenkamp and Mo Trafeh are both in good enough shape to take it down, should be a wet & wild race to be sure.
Polish breakfast you say? Yup. The Westsider restaurant dished us up some pleasing perogies, great golabki, and scintillating sauerkraut this morning. Grand Rapids Polish community, yum!
Heck of a drive yesterday. Turned into 12 hours of rain, jackknifed semis, muddy windshields, and utter enjoyment of the traveling companion. Nice little tune up for next month’s trip to Oregon.
Off to Holland, MI this afternoon to tour one of my favorite breweries.
Finding health, happiness, good food, and good beer one city at a time. Life is good. I’ve got No Complaints.
I wish all the same and more for you.
