   May 6,  The Bloomsday  Run, It was a dry warm day, especially coming from Sequim. Anything above 65 degrees is warm. My time for the 12K run was 1 hour and 23 minutes.

       time was 5 hours and 42 minutes. 1rst in my age division, 75-79.

Of course the highlight of the year was the 80 mile run. I have found out since my run that the record for 80 to 84 age group for a 24 hour run is 82. 74 miles.
HMMMMM. Oh well maybe there will be another chance to set the record when I am 90.
