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 - ???

For years I've enjoyed the Halloween tours & Cinema in the Cemetery events in the summer at Laurel Hill, which overlooks the Schuylkill River & Kelly Drive. I've always wanted to run this course, which weaves among the towering obelisks and weeping angel statues throughout the National Historic Landmark cemetery founded in 1836. Though it was a day after Kevin & I were in his brother's wedding, I thought we would be recovered to race by the 5 p.m. start. Arriving about an hour early, since parking is...
