"Do the Hustle" . . . Rosie and I completed the Hoover Hustle 1oK Sunday at Hoover Reservoir, Sunbury OH along with 301 entrants registered for the 6.2 mile event. 176 additional runners opted for the 5K and there were 30 walkers/race-walkers registered for either 5 or 10K for a total of 507 participants. It was a beautiful sunny morning, 38 degrees with a slight breeze, similar to the Alum Creek run last week. Good, steady first two miles along the water and across the dam . . . then we saw THE HILLS ahead of us; straight drops and inclines from miles 3-5 slowing the pace considerably but we agreed it was great training for the mini-marathon May 8th. Rosie completed the race in 1:13:30 with an 11:50 pace well within her goal and 3rd of 4 in her age group; I completed the race in 59:49 at a 9:38 per mile pace and finished 1st of 3 in my age group. All in all a great day for grandpa and grandma join the "pups" and . . . "Do The Hustle!"
