This post features the <a href="http://www.trackshack.com/events-detail.php?id=103">Winter Park Road Race </a>in Winter Park, FL. The route was a 10k with an additional 2 miler challenge if you wanted. I did not dare to take the challenge. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The route was on some cobble stone streets of old Florida and regular paved roadways. I knew there would be cobble stone and I stayed in the center of the roadway and it was too bad on the ankles. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was happy to finish and PR and get my dang donut!!!!! Ok, you don't know this but I love my donut after a run, I guess I crave the sugar instead of a beer. Usually, the donuts are all gone by the time I get done so I was happy to get this krispy kreme in my mouth!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The 2017 Swamp House Half Marathon and 5K was a success!!!! This was my 2nd half marathon ever and it was great. I felt good, the weather was perfect and the stars had aligned. This great race take place in a small city of DeBary between Daytona Beach and Orlando. The scenic route takes you back to old Florida for the second part of the half marathon. Fort Florida Road is a tree covered 3 mile stretch with cows, and even a rooster guarding the mile 9 water stop and porto potties. I finished and felt good. Could I have been faster? Yes. Was my foot hurting? Yes. Did I die? No. LOL We were all greeted with water, bananas, and chocolate milk. </span><br />
