Memorial Day Weekend, 2016

It's difficult to know who has more talent, Epke Zonderland the Dutch gymnast who can't perform in the 2016 Olympics, but did this 4 years ago:

Coffee in a chocolate cone anyone??

Mary and friends on the deck hours after my 5 mile race on the street past the stop sign. The Finish Line is 100 yards to the left.

My times:

2011   47:25

2012   43:48

2013    Not tracked

2014    45:01

2015    46:39

2016    43:28  Finally getting better with age!

From our local newspaper the next day.

I actually beat the fellow in orange with ten yards to go at the finish. He had more drag wearing a shirt??

Mary and our friends in front of the grey SUV cheered me on, before lunch at RuthAnn's house behind them.

One of my more satisfying races, fifty years after I started in the summer of 1966.

Purchasing the history book of our upcoming 7 mile race in 2 weeks with Leo who has run it since it started 39 years ago!

On my phone, I am reading local weather from the station in Leo's back yard.
