MSO 10k


Ran 1:04 for 10:22 pace on a hilly course, 64 + with sun and breeze. I got the OU XC coach's card and will pass it on to my nephew David so he can be a walk on at OU XC this fall.
1500 meters at the track tomorrow morning - Dianne won't let me wear a tri top so I'll wear a skinsuit instead!
Got the Bronze metal and will wear it all day.
Also got interviewed by Oakland Press! All I need now is the winning lottery ticket.

MSO 5k

After having breakfast with Sean and Kyla, I hustled over to the OPC to set the course for the Mich. Senior Olympics 5k and got 2 young guys to walk with me to the turnaround. I layed a start/finish line with old flour, and carried a pack with 2 cones for 1 mile and 2 mile. I used the rest of the flour for the turnaround. 20 racers came. I then got my MSO credentials, and I'm ready for the dinner tonight and the 10k Friday (3 others in my age group) and 1500 meters Sat. (1 competitor). I'm assured of a medal. Dianne has 2 competityors in the 5k racewalk, so she is certain of a medal.

Cool Run

Ran a little over 6 miles with Jerry on Clinton River Trail. 60 and sun and lots of wild flowers and saw the sign where they found the mastadon bones. Cool. Golf outing today to remember my Dad. I'm a little tired from yesterday.

Race

Ran 20k at Frankenmuth, 58 degrees at start with a breeze. Ideal. Talked to Gary Morgan, 4 time olympian.
Then I ran into Keith Hanson, head of Hanson, Brooks, Saturn team and asked him if I could be on the team? He said, "Your on!" So I got that going for me!
Chicken dinner and shopping and home. Tired.
