Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

feeling the pain

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

GOOD NEWS! I finished 189 out of 705 runners. The bad news, I did not win the bottle of Moet. My buddy came in 112 and beat me by about 4 minutes. My official time was 1:29:35 with a pace of 10:41 per mile (the race is actually 8.3 miles long). Our good buddy over [...]
