Gilbert's Gazelles
So this morning I had planned on running this little 5K, the "Get Your Rear in Gear 5K", which benefits colon cancer education etc... So the problem is that I did a 13.5 miler yesterday morning to the top of Mount Bonnell no less, and stuck with DV and Joseph. We were definitely the "fast runners" on the day. So then I had this dream last night that I was walking to the race and realized that I still had my work pants on, and I had this pair of stretchy shorts in my other hand. I couldn't...
Well, I did my first 5K this morning since running with Gilbert's Gazelles, and it was interesting for several reasons. The good news is that I finished 2nd overall (woohoo!), the downside being that there was really only one fast runner and he smoked me(dang!)

The up and downs are pretty difficult. Running down the steep incline towards the end on Meriden, I could hear my feet slapping the pavement. I need to figure out how to mellow that out. Chris was dropping the pain on us basically at will, but it's always good to have a rabbit. Then afterwards, he skipped the other exercises. That's not even fair. ...
