This is my husband, in 35 degree weather, running 15 miles, at a 7:26 pace, winning third in his age group. He's pretty awesome. And it's a good thing he's fast, because we have a 9-mile "Sweetheart Run" on Saturday in which we'll be timed as a couple. So for every minute that he's helping our "team," I'll be bringing us down and then some. It'll be the first time I've run in two weeks, and so far this week I've been on the couch for two days with a pretty bad sinus infection.
Oh, and the temps should be in the upper 20s by Saturday's race time of 7:45 a.m. Sounds like a good beginning to Valentine's weekend!
Results: Alan placed 2nd in his age group in both the 5K and the 10K, 5th overall in the men's 10K, and 3rd overall in the men's double (5K plus the 10K). There were 118 men who ran the 10K. So like I said, he's pretty awesome. And kind of annoying.
I crossed the finish the line in both races, so yeah. I'm a "finisher." After the 9 miles of death was over, I immediately bent over the railing and someone came up and asked if I was okay. Um yeah, I'm just LOUSY at this. Then I went to sit down and started having an asthma attack, but I don't have asthma. I couldn't breathe, couldn't get air into my lungs, and was starting to panic. It was fantastic fun. So although I've said that the experience is fun, this race SUCKED BALLS.
But go Alan! Heehee...

As I make the Alan and Joe timed laugh, if it is 20 when you start you'll need someone to warm you up when it is done!!!!
I like where your head is, tapering down before the race.
