The Run for the Chicken Biscuits. Chick-Fil-A 5K in Madtown.

6:30 a.m. It’s time to make the biscuits.

Or was that another commercial?

I put on some running shoes and headed down to check-in for race volunteers.

Yes, 6:30 on a Saturday was early even for those of us who get up early all week long.

Yawn.

Kristi Fridell was there.

Along with lots of people. As the sun crept up, the runners crept in moo.

First was the Mile Fun Run.

Then the 5K started.

Kristi and I ran along together.

She’s a lot younger and a lot faster than me so after running 1.5 miles when she said, “I haven’t been running a lot lately” —

I believed her.

After the race, saw the Cardwells. Mary Claire won her division and Dad placed somewhere in his.

All smiles.

It was a great morning. For those who missed it, there are plenty of races close by left in the series to run.

I hung around thinking I might take home a bit of hardware and I wasn’t disappointed.

I missed my two older boys.

The Fighting Blue Hose of Presbyterian College held their Spring Game and all the incoming freshman players were invited to join in the festivities.

So Dad and our first born headed up that way today.

If you’re in Madison this time next year….you’ve got to join in the fun.

With a whole year to train, what’s your excuse?
