This race theme reminds me of this picture.
The 5K went well, in a way. I pushed it all the way through and made a time of about 25:30. This is 1:15 slower than my last 5K, which was 24:15. To this day, I don't know if the problem is that this course was a bit long and the last was a bit short (both possibilities) or if it's because I'm not exactly in a fast stage of training right now. What I do know is that I pushed it all the way through so this time is a pretty good representation of where I am right now. I'm satisfied with it. Monica told me today that if I was still 29 I would have placed in my age group! Oh well. There will be many many more opportunities to place, and I will!
Last Saturday night we went to do a bit of karaoke at Club 44 and a good time was had by many! I will post pictures of that event here as soon as I can. The only one I can provide now is this one which everyone was keen on having taken but no one else wanted to join me in:
Of course, that was supposed to be an upside-down can of spaghettios on my head (put there by one of my bratty welfare children) and a bowl of Ramen in front of me, but Trailer Park Cuisine closed early because business was slow. As a result, we had to eat Mexican. The disappointment still haunts me.
Here are the only two other pictures that exist of the evening's festivities. Dave wanted a picture of himself on the big horse in front of P.F. Chang's. I think he's listing his favorite songs or movies in the second one.
The rest of the evening was fun, though! The following not-entirely-appropriate video, courtesy of youtube, is here to remind us of a moment that will forever hold a place deep in my funny bone. Enjoy!
In any case, it's time to do something besides stare at the computer screen.

Liz, yes I do believe this race was a bit long and Beat Coach Pete was short.... Hence the 1:15 difference. Also... really girl, you just finished out your detraining and you are getting back into faster running. You'll get there! Too bad you were a week off of 29 years old! You were so close to getting swag!
On another note... you crack me up with your video. We'll have to do Karaoke again sometime.... if I win some bets that is! Many memories are in the making!
See ya tomorrow afternoon for a run. We'll miss you in the evening. Join us at BSU if you get off in time.
