August 17, 2008 – Runnin’ Down a Dream
Today was a typical August Sunday morning in central Florida - sunny, hot and humid. It was a perfect day for most residents to saunter outside in their robes, pick up the morning newspaper from the curb and head back inside to enjoy a cup of coffee in air conditioned comfort. But for over 1,500 runners it was a day to celebrate running at the Track Shack Celebration of Running 5k which marked 31 years since the store opened for business. This year it once again kicked off a seven race Grand Prix series with the theme, “Runnin’ Down a Dream,” from the classic Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song of the same name.
For the rest of this lengthy race report, including some cool mixing in of lyrics from the Tom Petty song, go to www.garycohenrunning.com in the "Articles/All in a Day's Run" area and check out "Runnin' Down a Dream."
