The Cinco de Mayo celebration is this week. This particular celebrations stands out for me as it was the first road race in my time here that was held in San Marcos. The Capital 10K in 1979 had 2,000 runners and I went down to see Warren Leddick, the Parks and Recreation Director, to see if we could put on a race here in San Marcos. Warren was also a track and field director so he knew how to put a race on. The 10K race was held out at the Civic Center and ran out on the access road and Redwood Road (Wonder World now) and came back in off Highway 123. We had about 125 runners show up for the race. I ran in the race and helped out before and after the main race took place. I can’t remember if the race went on the next few years after that as Leddick moved to Longview for a position there.

My lifestyle has greatly changed in the last five weeks. I had spinal surgery on the last day of March. Lots of pain. Recovery is slow. No fishing, no turkey hunting, no bike riding, no long hikes. No nothing! Just a prisoner IN my house, simply chained to my chair. My wife Beth has been a great nurse helping me. But she is the Gestapo when it comes to me doing too much too soon!
