This year, without the benefit of much training a Dad and his 2 daughters once again participated in the 15K (9.3 mile) Gate River “Run”. These 3 intrepid souls set a blistering 18 minute-mile pace leaving about 2000 of the 17000 participants in their wake. Victory was celebrated with the 3 B’s--- Beer, bananas and bagels----followed by a fried chicken lunch. The tradition lives for another year.
The following information is provided for next year when we once again try to remember when to leave the house. We decided this year on 6:36 AM and it worked fine. If Karen still works out there her work parking lot is a great place to park and that way we get to use real bathrooms before the race.
