A pleasant run in the woods in the rain,
with an Irish theme and medals to gain.
I have often bicycled this route, but running it was new, and I was quited surprised, when we passed the wetland area, to see clear evidence of beaver construction activity. I had never noticed it when zooming by on my bike.
They've built a dam and flooded land - where it was merely muddy.
But did these rodents file their environmental study?
Congrats on the bling! That is way cool!

Thanks! It helps to find small, new south side races.
ReplyDeleteWSJ had an article a year or two ago about runners who sought out fulls and halfs that looked like good opportunities to medal in age group!

I read that, or some article like it, and absorbed the principles. It's childish but fun. Ruth & Bob used to run this 5k in Oak Park where all runners got a finishers medal. They were quite annoyed when the organizers cut the medals and started giving an actual rose to the women runners - and nothing to the men.
