"Gemulicheit" . . . . German for a cozy, social environment that depicts the Oktoberfest! Fun, food, and a "Meiler Vier" race complete with Alp Horns marks the festivities each fall in Columbus. Rosie and I again celebrated the opening of Oktoberfest, September 23, by watching the "tapping of the keg", then running the "Meiler Vier", or "Four Miler" along with 433 other runners. This was my personal best for the year (first in my Age Group, 60-69 & 142 over-all; Rose Anne also ran well finishing 5 or 9 in her Age Group. Perhaps we were anticipating the Post race festivities . . . . a Beer, a Brat, and a Cream Puff . . and good German Beergarten bands! Prost!
