So a few months ago my dear friend Angie had a brilliant idea....doing a triathlon in relay together. She'd run, I'd swim, and we tried several different bikers but came up empty. We landed instead on running together in the Chuy's 5K to benefit Special Olympics....in the un-timed, fun-run part. But hey...most of you were probably still in bed when we were out there running.
Saturday May 10th was the big race day. We both did very little to prepare other than picking a cute running outfit and sleeping in it since the race was way too early for both of us. However, we set our pace and finished the race in 32 minutes. We'd also like to point out that we passed some young college gals which made us feel accomplished. I must confess though that we saw a group of elderly men running together with shirts that read "In denial at _____" and they filled in the blank with their age. The one we saw closely was 86. So we have a long way to go to really brag because he passed the college girls too.
Anyway, my parents happened to be in town so they cheered us across the finish as if we'd run the Boston Marathon. Love that! We then cheered our other friends in: Stephanie, Karen, Karin, and Betty Blake. It was super fun and I love that Angie is short like me so our strides match as opposed to running with taller types who can take one step for my two (ehem...Chris).
Next year we'll do the triathlon....
