The town of Danville has been holding the Devil Mountain run for nearly 30 years now. A 5K and a 10K held annually on the first Sunday in May. It is always a good race because it falls early in the racing season, the weather is nice, and it is very well organized.
This year was almost a "no go" however, as the annual sponsor, Andronico’s Market backed out. I guess they didn’t want to front the $35K or whatever it is to host this thing. A lot of money, yes, but all of the proceeds go to Children’s Hospital in Oakland…a great cause. So why let the sick kids get screwed…someone else stepped up to the plate and made this thing even better.
Screw Andronico’s…their merchandise is over priced and over rated if you want my opinion.
So anyway the race went okay… a little slower than what I would have liked but that’s life…its early in 2006 and I need to still drop about 5lbs and know I am still progressing. Everyone else in the group did well too…it will be a good year for all.
That’s all I have for this post…king of dull, but stay tuned, I’ll write about Portland since I will be there the next few days.
