You've probably been wondering where I was. I've been busy. Three of my clan were running in the Falmouth Road Race. Michael Johnson, a friend, was with them. The town of Falmouth is packed during the Road Race weekend, so Michael stayed in our cottage. My son Mark ran the 7 K in an hour and 8 min. Cheryl and Jon stayed together and both finished in an hour and 12 min. Michael followed in an hour and 13 min.
It's a fun race. Just having the gumption to run proves that you're a winner. Every one finished. The start was at Woods Hole, around Captain Kids. Cheryl and Jon were placed at that building with the ship sticking out of it. Mark was near the Helix statue and Mike near the Aquarium.

Everybody's mind was playing tricks: "your eye is itchy, you have to pee, you've got a cramp, etc." That's why some play music and sing while they run. Cheryl stopped to use the porta potti, Jon walked, and somehow Cheryl caught up with him and they stayed together. They finished before the other two, but when they crossed the finish line, they didn't check in, they went for water, and then checked in. So their time is after Mark's, but they really were about 5 minutes before him.
The winner was a Kenyon, Stanley Blwott at 31 minutes. The female winner was another Kenyon, Margaret Wangari at 36 minutes. Jamba!!!
