Runners try to guess their own race times
ZELIENOPLE — Pati Livengood predicted that she would finish the race in 40 minutes. Kathy Stewart predicted her own time at 31 minutes and 30 seconds. Ron Liscio Jr. and Amy O’Donnell didn’t make any predictions for their race time.
No matter what the racers predicted, many people at the Groundhog Day Prediction Race on Sunday morning said the event was one they had been looking forward to, even if they had been watching the thermometer before race day.
“The prediction part of it makes it unique, it’s a little bit different than a normal 5K,” said Stewart, of Greensburg. “It’s funny, I never used to think I would want to run outside in the winter, and I actually really enjoy it. This is great, and I never would have believed it.”
