Grab your sneakers & let's race!

     The days are longer, the flowers are blooming, it's race season again in Delaware County! Last year I ran a race every week for eight weeks & I'm looking to try that again. I wanted to start with the Shamrock Shuffle recently in Havertown, but it was a little over my running registration budget ($20 and under are more reasonable). So it looks like the Kevin Cain 5K in Havertown on April 1 will kick off my racing season. So far the races I have penciled in are:
                      April 1 - Kevin Cain 5K
April 7 or 8 - ???
April 14 - Ridley Run
April 21 or 22 - ???
                      April 28 - Hillcrest Elementary School in Drexel Hill or Twilight Run in Havertown
May 6 - Broad Street 10-miler
May 12 - Aronimink Elementary School in Drexel Hill
May 19 - Brad Schoener in Upper Darby
                      May 26 - ???

So proud of you all! Way to go ladies!

Swimming out to sea! The misty Poverty to Cove 2.4-Mile Swim in Cape May, N.J.

The Jellyfish Swim of 2022 still holds the top spot for my Worst Open Water Race ever. Swimming in a fog of nothingness & floating out to sea Poverty to Cove race, has now elbowed its way to the second spot over the Miniature Child Swim Cap Debacle of 2022 at the Cedar Island 5K race! Stinging wildlife, weather conditions & swim gear issues will always land a spot on my "never again" race list. The hot & humid day & 85-degree Lake Nockamixon was a fun challenge, in contrast to the dense fog at last Sunday's Poverty to Cove 2.4-Mile Swim in Cape May. I've competed in all types of weather conditions, but I'll definitely take soaking wet & racing in a Broad Street Run 10-Miler downpour or a hot tub lake any day over drifting out into the Atlantic. When I swam this race two years ago, my first ocean race, it was a beautiful day & I loved swimming past the oceanfront Victorian houses. Arriving at Poverty Beach about 6:45 a.m., I not...
