We did it! Our first 5K is under our belts!

The morning started out with Mary feeling under the weather; although it wouldn't have taken much since it was only 22 degrees out! We thought about calling off sick as well, but as Deb put it...you "MFs" got me to sign up and we're doing it. She easily won the fight. Headed downtown and saw runners in shorts; they were obviously going to be running much faster than us so we were in layers. Didn't need any snow/ice cleats so that was good. Cindy and Jamison finished in about 30 minutes, Renee crossed in 37, Rob crossed in 40 and Ang and Deb in 44:30, beating their 45 minute goal! Had some Chili Classic 5K chili which was spicy hot to help warm up from the inside out and a beer to numb the aches. Then to lunch at Southside which was fabulous!

I think we all did rather well despite the variety of challenges not specifically mentioned here to protect reputations. JK

We will be in Vegas for the next scheduled run but hopefully we will get one in there at a more reasonable temperature.

I'm off to go celebrate my twin nieces' 8th birthday. I hope you enjoyed however you spent your afternoon!
