Whitin (MA) 5 mile Race Report

Not really a race report but just some pictures of the Whitin 5 miler that I ran on Thanksgiving Day with Steve (Runner). Steve and I ran most of the race together but he took off the last quarter mile and beat me by 20 seconds or so. Steve's wife asked me to let him beat me so he doesn't pout over the winter. I felt bad so I obliged. :-) To be fair, Steve and I thought we were about the same fitness level--he has started to ramp up his miles since the Valley Harvest Half and I have started to ramp down for the winter. It was a good race but, at the end, I couldn't sprint with him at the finish.

As it turns out, I will be in California next weekend and have my eye on a 4 mile race in San Francisco on Sunday. Hopefully, I'll post pictures from that race next week,

Looks like you all had similar weather (only a little warmer) as I did for the Gobble Wobble in Grand Rapids. Glad you had a good race.

Have a great trip!

Thanks Karen. It was fun though I have to say I was worn out the rest of the day. :-) Hope your new job is going well.
