Race Recap By George McFall:

Happy Birthday, America (and to me too). The tradition of running a race on my birthday continues. For the 3rd (I think) year in a row I ran the Aurora July 4th 5k. The course is on streets through a neighborhood that offers a little climb at the beginning and then another later on but the finish is fast (after another little climb). The residents come out to support the runners and walkers which is very much appreciated. I like courses where I don’t have to think. It was well marked. Just follow the arrows. I ran a great race. I had a negative split which is awesome and placed 2nd in a large and competitive age group (51-60). The 1st place guy was a minute faster than me and the 3rd place guy came in a minute and half after me.
