Downers Grove 5-Miler. Rained furiously before race. Then magically stopped and we ran this hilly race in very humid conditions as temps climbed into the 90's. More than a minute/mile slower than last year....very discouraging since I was feeling pretty good. I guess at this point in life, late 70's, I'm just lucky to be able to finish. Seems like I'm meeting more and more old guys who've had strokes, partial paralyses, heart conditions, etc Tough it out! Must be some reason that I only had two competitors in my 75-79 age group at a popular circuit race such as this....
