I may be old, but I'm slow

The weather was perfect last Saturday for the Westport St. Patrick's Day Run. Even though it would seem impossible, the Kansas City Track Club managed to put together a 4 Mile course that felt like it was entirely uphill! The finish line was the final act of demoralization as they chose the uphill grade from Mill Street to Pennsylvania on Westport Road. Nothing like being completely exhausted and looking up what seems like a long hill to the finish! I felt sorry for the people who made it the whole way only to give up on the final hill and walk in. I finished a semi-respectable 18th out of 95 competitors in my age group. Congratulations to all who competed. The big winner was the Redemptorist Social Services Center who was the beneficiary of the nearly 1700 competitors who participated. Next up? The Trolley Run!
