I started streak year 4 off with the Miles & Smiles 5K in Madisonville. I like the relatively short drive and 9 a.m. start. Accurate course, mostly on a rough trail through a large park. I felt lucky to have no slips and falls, but I did not have to stop once and get a rock out of my shoe. I finished in a slow 57:46 and was first of one in the 80 and over age group. I appreciate the belt buckle age group award, huge, heavy and beautifully designed. It is much nicer than any marathon finisher belt buckle I have received. I have been introduced at races before, but this was the first time I have been handed the microphone and asked to speak. Well, it was a nice chance to convince everyone to start a running streak.
