n the bowels of the metropolitan neighborhood, than do a 5K Run/Walk on the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Plant's 18-hole golf course! I walked BTW. Took pictures while I walked. Can't run no more, bad 5th lumbar disk and running jolts it so much, it calls on Uncle Arthur to sit me down! But I am a trekkie, hiker if you will, prefer backwoods trail hiking to any paved or graveled road.
Anyhow, here's some shots of Spring in Danville from the Goodyear Education 5K Run/Walk.
Even though I snapped pictures throughout, I won my age group (60-69, nine competing in the Walking category in my age bracket) in a time of just under 43 minutes, after stopping at spots along the way to snap photos. I must be living right, second place in my age group was seven minutes behind me.
Spring in Danville, finally!
Folks, this is the prettiest golf course in Danville and it can all be owed to one man, Lou Comper, who was as obsessed with the beauty of the land as he was the game of golf. Lou took classes under Japanese garden artists and it shows, there is beauty everywhere on this course.
And of course, the race! Did I mention I took starting photos and rather than start where I was stationed, I went to the Start/Finish line and started dead last!
I passed every person you see in this photo taken as I just started.
Here I am in the final half, I passed all of these people except the gentleman in the middle, Layton Everette, who is a patron to us all( as well as winner of his age category), and the black lady, Lilly Fisher, another patron runner (and winner of her age category also), in front of him. I caught up with the two of them on the real hilly part of the course and walked to the finish with both, but my heart's too big and dog like and I couldn't cross before Layton, who is 78 years old, went through two knee operations two years ago, and just is an all around good human being. I also let Lilly go in front of me, neither were in any way associated with my age group and I knew it, I had it in the wraps.
