Week 224, July 4: Take it easy, but beak airful out there (Stars and Stripes 5K)

Familiar race (and race company), new place (Aspiria) and day (on the 4th). Runners were scattered across several races today, but somehow this one had 25% more than last year on a different day. Just off another round of torrential rain that flooded many creeks and streams in the Metro, the humidity was off the charts. I was glistening long before start time. I of course got the usual round of comments, like race director Brad saying, “You have a lot going on. A LOT going on,” and Kody summarizing as, “You look like America!” The course isn’t my favorite, and there is more elevation change than you’d think. To anybody I smacked with my untested wingspan… sorry. ‘MERI-CAW!

All costume pieces from various Amazon sellers, except the trusty BOA flag shorts
