On Saturday I ran the Riverbank Run in Grand Rapids. The last time I ran it was in 2003. It felt really good to be able to get through it this year. I ran it in 2 hours 15 minutes. I was happy with that. I had been doing a lot of cross training (more biking and elliptical machine) and that was able to keep me sufficiently trained – with out putting too much stress on my old joints! That worked good - except for my feet! They don’t get much training on the bike and they were barkin’ for the last few miles. A few goals came and went, but over all I felt like I gave my all and I did not have to walk (It’s hard to start running again after you walk a little!).
Shawn was there to cheer me on for my kick to the finish line - it was sure great to see her big smile and give me that last bump to the finish! I was pretty happy to cross that line!
Thanks for the support Cats!

Great job, Jim. If you didn't have those Ackerman feet barking at you, it would have been almost painless.
