I went to my sis in laws stake 5k. I took the family to do it. I met Amy, a friend of mine and chatted with her a bit. I ran a mile warmup and then the race got started. I did my first mile in 5:18 and had 2 kids on my side. They took off and got about 15 yards instant on me. I reeled them back in by mile 2 and then they surged again. There was some uphill grade that slowed me to a 5:40 2nd mile and then when it flattened out I pushed as hard as I could but they did as well. I ended up 3rd. I won a Cornish Game Hen.  The first place got a turkey and second got a Chicken. lol. The winners ran for UVC of course! lol I needed that, I havnt run a 5k in a while.

Thanks Amy! I really hate 5k's I don't know how I can run a half marathon in a faster pace than a 5k.

Lot's of Amy's. Cornish game hen.hilarious. No mesquite marathon for you today? LOL

From Walter on Sat, Nov 19, 2011 at 21:44:06 from 24.2.69.110

Nope. I'd rather run a marathon on a treadmill like Rob did. Lol

From Rob on Sat, Nov 19, 2011 at 21:53:27 from 204.15.86.95

It's over rated. I didn't win any foul, and no metal.

From Walter on Sat, Nov 19, 2011 at 21:55:26 from 24.2.69.110

I have a hard time running 4 miles on a treadmill. There is no way I could do a full marathon on one.

From Rob on Sat, Nov 19, 2011 at 22:04:44 from 204.15.86.95

Oh, I meant fowl. Oops!

Sure you could, just run 4 miles not quite 7 times.

From Burt on Sat, Nov 19, 2011 at 22:17:09 from 174.255.241.22

And medal.
