Run Against Hunger

My line…
25. Sam Spritzer 0:21:44 0:07:00 6/M50-54 25/M
Mike’s line…
71. Michael Spritzer 0:25:42 0:08:16 5/M20-24 58/M
And Steph has finally gotten over her stress fracture and is back to running. Look for her at the FAMA race on the 26th.

I need to check the past races but I believe this is Mike’s PR. Way to go, kiddo…hope you catch me! And if you’re female, in your 20s…check out his pictures on the Checkers website. He is the one with the bib #96.

It was a beautiful foggy morning, low 40s. The course is basically flat except for the slight upslope around the 2.25 mile mark. It runs through the neighborhoods of the west side, starting and ending at D’Youville College. The post-race party was phenomenal especially the homemade chili. Can you say…”seconds, please?”…”thirds, please??”

One interesting observation…this race was PR #2 back in 2006 with a time of 23:11.

Next up…Feel the Spirit 5k at the Infant of Prague Church in Cheektowaga. The race director is Checker’s member, Tim Zelasko and the course is one of those “turny” ones where you’re making a left here, right there, short straight, left, right…..
