Race Travels

Friends of this blog recently traveled around the U.S. and while on vacation had the opportunity to run races.

The Katz team of Joanne and Lou flew all the way to Hawaii to run the Harold Chapson 8K on January 17th. Maybe they had other reasons to travel to Hawaii instead of staying in the cold Northeast, like Mai Tai's, beaches, hiking and sandy beaches, but they did also race. The race course description says it is moderately hilly, which I guess is true if you run up part of Diamond Head. 

Two other friends, Mike and Eileen, ran the Charleston 13.1 mile race. They both ran stellar times and rumors have it that Mike took the post-race honors in his age group of eating the most shrimp and grits. Mike finished 7th/19 in his age group and Eileen was 3/20.
