February 22nd, 2014
Tara & I participated in our first 5k race of the year on
Saturday, February 22nd. The race was the "Run Your Ice Off 5K" and took place
on/near the campus of the University of Michigan - Flint. Although our results
weren't anywhere near our best ever, that is largely attributed to a major lack
of training (at least partially due to the incredibly cold and snowy winter
taking it's toll on us mentally). We also ran with two of our friends (we didn't
actually run together... we ran at our own paces), Beth and Colleen. Beth had
the best time out of all of us, and finished 56th. Colleen got 160th and Tara
came in at 247th place. For some reason I show up on the results page as "not
found", but according to the time on my GPS I would have came in somewhere
around 133rd place. Not too shabby considering there were 350 participants and I
only ran less than 10 times all year so far. Great job to all involved!
I do have to apologize for the picture quality... I gave
the camera to Drew to take pictures for me but I forgot to put it in auto mode,
so the pictures would have been great had they been taken in the basketball gym
or the hockey rink, but not so good when taken outside! Also, Beth snuck by so
fast that the kids completely missed taking her picture!
