• Comments: I want to thank my dad for his help and support this race. We came home to banner from Mom which was wonderful. I am glad I beat last years time but I know I can do better. This race went drastically downhill from last year because there are just too many people and I think it really hurts the small town feel of the race. I am honestly not that excited about doing it in the future if it is going to be like this. :(

• Comments: The number of participants definitely made this less than a perfect race. There is a trade off of quantity vs. quality. The souvenir time chip is neat. We felt bad that there was no medal for finishers. I don't know how many more people they can handle before this is just too big-- maybe that's already happended. Again, the best part of this race was being able to run it with Pam and finish together (actually she beat me by 1 second). When we got home, Joanie had made each of us a banner which was really nice. It was a very good day!

• Comments: As always, the Bellin Run is a really nice event. Very organized and very well put together. There was 12,908 people registered for the run and walk events. They had some big names running it too - like Bill Rodgers. For me this was a good event. I improved my time by 2:30 with about the same effort as the year before. Nice to see improvements like this from a good year of training.
