Finished

I just woke up a few minutes ago and I do feel a little sore.  I finished the 13.1 miles for Speed the Light yesterday in under 3 hours.  Definitely not a stellar performance, but at least I did finish.  I cruised through the first 7 miles and then started to cramp up.  So the half of the run I…

Our first 5k

A couple weeks ago Jill and I ran a 5k on a whim. We saw a flyer in a Caribou the week before and decided to set our alarm the following Saturday at 5:30am. If we could wake up, we'd run the race. We managed to crawl out of bed and made our way to register early. The race was…
