Not so much of a race report as a run report. I didn’t intend to “race” tonight, but just run it for fun. In fact, I turned off my Garmin after the first half mile. I had the HR alarm on, and forgot to turn it off. Anyway, onto the run.
I saw some friends from Team for Life at the race. Amye, and her mom Karen, Trish, Scott, and Jamie were all there. Amye was going to walk with her mom, but she ended up walking with Jamie. So, Amye and I ran it. We ran it in like 34 minutes, but we didn’t care. We talked about “old times”, Team for Life, Team in Training, Heart Rate Training, and a bunch of other stuff. I was accused of being a weather shifter, because I would joke about it raining, and then it would for a second or two. After we finished, we walked back to find Karen and Jamie. They were about 3/4’ths of a mile from the finish when we found them. We walked the rest of the way with them, but didn’t finish twice.
The race starts at 7:30 PM, and we run through a cemetery. It’s a pretty hilly course, and a lot of fun. There is a party afterwards, with free food, and cheap beer. It was good to see the team, and get some more inspiration for the marathon. I know the team will be right there with me the entire way. Amye is going to run some long runs with us this winter, if I can get an email to her in time. Sounds like she has some mail delivery issues. Like 10 delays, etc.
