Thanks to GPS technology, we didn’t have any trouble finding the Mill Grove 5k race that I think was somewhere between Matthews and Mint Hill. The race took place in the lovely Shannamara neighborhood, which is adjoining The Divide Golf Course. It was an out-and-back course so it was nice to be able to finish [...]

Race #41 – Candlelight Run 5k – Greenville SC – 06/20/09
Posted by Richard Hefner on June 21st, 2009
It would be our third race in about 24 hours, but Linda and I agreed that the biggest nighttime race in South Carolina, on a course filled with 21,000 luminaries, sounded like fun and a nice way to celebrate our 30th anniversary (it’s the 21st actually) so we decided to head down that way. Mitchell [...]
Race #40 – Summer Breeze 5k – Charlotte NC – 06/20/09
Posted by Richard Hefner on June 20th, 2009
This one will go down as one of my all-time most memorable races. As you may know, I’ve been enjoying my new camera, taking pictures of the races to share in my blog. I figure a picture being worth a thousand words and all that, it’s nice to give people something to look at besides [...]

The X-Bionic Old Runner
Posted by Richard Hefner on June 15th, 2009
So we were in bed flipping through the channels last night just before bedtime and came across a show called “Sport Science” on the Fox Sports Network that’s similar to MythBusters. The subject was a new type of clothing made in Switzerland that is made from a revolutionary material that turns sweat into energy. The [...]

Race #38 – CityKids VBS 5k Run – Hickory NC – 09/13/09
Posted by Richard Hefner on June 13th, 2009
This was the 10th annual CityKids VBS (Vacation Bible School) 5k sponsored by First Baptist Church in Hickory. For Linda and I, it was our second race in 12 hours and a 50-mile drive after getting home at almost midnight after last night’s China Grove race, but I always look forward to running in Hickory, [...]
Race #37 – China Grove 5k Main Street Challenge – China Grove NC – 06/12/09
Posted by Richard Hefner on June 13th, 2009
With a start time of 9:00 p.m., the biggest challenge I faced in this race was seeing where I was going. Not to worry though… it was a straight shot down Main Street in China Grove with no deviation onto side streets, then run around the cone and straight back to the finish. Once you [...]

Race #36 – King Tiger 5k at University City – Charlotte NC – 06/06/09
Posted by Richard Hefner on June 6th, 2009
I’ll start with the important stuff… Got a new camera this week, which will enable me to take some photos for the blog at each race. The new one’s nice and small — a Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Digital Elph . It fits perfectly in the front pocket of my RaceReady shorts (in case you [...]
