Basking in Reflected Glory
On Sunday, my club, the Shore Athletic Club of New Jersey, won the USATF National Club Championship, capturing the men's and women's titles, and as a result, the combined title as well.
I continue to bludgeon my body, trying to get it to run in something approximating the style that I want. Yesterday, I spent about 20 minutes running away from my home, then pulled a U-turn and ran back home. That 40 minutes felt pretty comfortable.
I have a 5K race on Wednesday evening. This will be a rematch with my 8 year-old son, who beat me on Mmemorial Day. I think we are almost evenly matched right now, so it will be interesting to see the outcome. Meantime, my son has announced his desire to try a 10K, so in mid-September we'll run one in the town I grew up in. It will be an effort of almost an hour for him. A big milestone for him. We'll see how ready he is. I think he'll be surprised, but will do OK.

Must be great to compete with your son! You are a fantastic role model for him, when growing up I wish I had a father like you!
