Minneapolis Recycle Run 5K Race Report
Monday, April 21st, 2008Sara and I got to the lake early, picked up our numbers and chips, and then went back to the car to stay warm.
Shortly before the race started, we warmed up a bit and stretched. Because we’re hardcore like that.
Note: This is not an example of an effective stretching program.
We started out of the gate strong and when we reached the hills we cursed our fate and gave up powered through with the strength of 10 American Gladiators.
We finished with a flourish, and then immediately broke down into tears of pain and nausea joy and celebration. It was a moment worthy of a Lifetime made-for-TV movie.
After cleaning ourselves up, we headed for the post-race food table. I think Pearson’s Salted Nut Roll sponsors every race in this city. But really, what’s not to love about post-race ‘nanners and nut rolls?
Big congratulations to Sara on finishing her first 5K! Also, many thanks to Stacey for taking photos and to everyone who came out to cheer us on. And thanks to the Minnesota Twins for giving me free baseball tickets.
