Joe Vailonis 2013

11 runners and 2 quilters (Kim and Linda) showed up for the Joe Vailonis HTC Winter Series run this morning. 3 of us (Kevin Markowski, Bill Varhue and Bob Tumiski) headed out into the meadow and did the out 4 and back 4 on the snow covered route and the other 8 (Tracy Vroeginday, Mike Taricani, Lee Bradley, Claudia, Todd Brown, Dave Condit, Barbara Kream and one other whose name escapes me) chose to do 4.8 on the road. Mr. Condit crushed the coarse, followed by RD Todd Brown, then the guy whose name I can't remember. Tracy was 4th, overtaking Lee in the final seconds. Lee's time was about 41:44. One of his goals for '13 is to not look back so he did not know where she was. She was sure her heart was pounding so hard it was audible but I never heard a thing.

Todd, Tray and Lee added 3.2 to make it an even 8.

Great way to start the year. Thanks Todd and Kim for setting the course, providing the food and drinks.

Now it's time to set your goals, pick some interesting local courses for our Saturday long runs when Brickyard is under snow cover and discipline ourselves for the challenges ahead.
