Michael Smith
winning the Personal Best 5
Congrats to Michael Smith for winning the first ever
Personal Best 5 Miler - The
event had staggered starts so that it might be a close finish between either
Master Women, Open Women, Master Men and Open Men. Michael made the event
a one-man show by easily catching the women and actually pulling away from the
open men that started behind him (Michael is a masters male) - it was a fun
event with a nice twist from the original format of a run.

(posted March 20)
Susha the dog needs a home! She runs like a gazelle
and would make a perfect running mate for someone. She is a doll of a dog. Not
all dogs can be a good running dog. Many don’t have the stamina. Susha does
though and she is a beautiful dog.
Here is her web profile:
