July 17

Ball, ball, and more ball.  I'm having a good summer.  Last week, I spent three days at the lake...kayaking, golfing, bocce, pickle ball, and walking.

 Today, I had a new experience.  I entered in a 60 plus track and field meet.  I ran the 200m and the 50m.  I won both races, but I am thinking the competition had a few years on me.  But let's just say I was going up against the best senior citizen runners in Saskatoon.  Based on wardrobe alone, I was the underdog.  My competition wore spike and had the shorty shorts from The Running Room.  I had Walmart runners, a "wife beater", and basketball shorts, but I looked good in a casual sort of way.

The 200m was a load.  The trick is to leave enough in your tank to keep the pedal to the metal in the last 100m. Whew!  My next event is on Thursday when I run the 100m.  I'm sure you will be reading about the race in the paper.
