New Years Resolution Run

Z, KB and I closed out the first year of STR with a strong showing at the Flint Resolution Run. With warm temperatures on a nice sunny day, Z cranked out the 8kms in less than 43 minutes! This is a really good time, congratulations Z! Especially considering the nearly 5 mile route contained a substantial hill at the start and finish. After some initial indications that I was able to earn my first place on the podium, I finished 4th in my age group with a 7:46 min/mile. Once again, KB brought home the hardware! She finished 2nd in her age group with a time of 38:38.

Congratulations to all STR members who have pushed themselves to become healthier and enjoy a more active lifestyle. May your resolutions be big and your resolve deep!

HAPPY NEW YEAR STR!

Jingle All the Way


Vinnie, Madison (the dog), and I braved the cold to represent STR in the Jingle Bell Run 10K. It was a great race with a record number of runners this year who raised over $30,000 for the Arthritis Foundation. Vinnie took home the fastest tire award with an impressive 56:48. Madison and I crossed the finish line two seconds later. This was Madison's first race. She was very excited and had plenty left in the tank at the end. Have a great Holiday Season.
