Up before 6am, it was a balmy day here for the LV Track Club's 5-mile race along the Pittman Wash Trail. I didn't really feel like racing, much less getting out of bed after what turned out to be a 36-mile week. But what the hey. The course started downhill for the 1st 1.75 miles, uphill for 3.75 miles and back downhill the last half mile. I was a respectable 42:16. But when I looked for my results my name wasn't among the male 45-49 yr olds. I had been mistakenly been placed among the women of my age. But that wasn't the worst part. I still only placed third. After the correction I was still 3rd among the men.
Today's other highlight was an email from runner, yoga teacher, weekend anchor, weekday reporter Kerstin Lindquist at Ch. 3 news. She replied:
"You too Ham!!! Have a Very Merry Christmas and don't work out too much! Even Santa takes a break some times! Oh, I taught the other day at YS, It was a nice homecoming, even one of the teachers spoke to me about you!
Be well in the New Year!
Kerstin"
