Full moon at the May Day 5k

Or is it a new moon since it is covered in black spandex?



Let's just say, it's not the most flattering picture of me.  Well, I managed to run the May Day 5k, win third place AND make a new PR for myself.  Woo!  Official time was 28:28.  I'm pretty sure I have never ran a 5k in under thirty minutes so I am pretty excited about my time.  Winning third place in this race was actually a sweeter victory than third place at the Turkey Trot 10k because there were ten people in my age group as opposed to four.

I really enjoyed the May Day 5k.  It's a smaller race, I believe we had about two hundred people running it, and the running group that hosts the race is awesome!  My parent's music studio was one of the sponsors for the race so my dad played the harp for the national anthem before the race began.  Seriously, what other race kicks off with a harp performance??

Anyway, I grew up on the street that the race started on but that didn't make the course any easier.  Within the first mile of the course, we had to climb a ridiculous hill and then three quarters into the race there was another killer hill. Ashamedly, I walked a good portion of the second hill.  Doing hill sprints is always something that I think I would like to do in theory because it would help increase my speed and potentially make me less fearful of hills but is something I never really get around to doing.  Shocking, I know.

Any embarrassing pictures of you out in cyberspace for all time and eternity?

What should you do but don't?

Who's the best bowler of them all?

Last week, at our bowling league, awards were handed out for personal achievements.  Alex and I both received some awards but I think it's very important to note the following:

Alex completely demolished me the night that he bowled his high game of a 165 but at least I came back and whooped him by one pin the next week.  That's how I roll.



And I received a Bowler of the Week award :)  I'm not sure how they figure out who gets this lovely award but somehow it was me.  I think it has something to do with bowling a certain number of pins over your average.  It was probably the week that I bowled a 166, considering my average is 113.  Whatever it was, I'll take it!

Are you laughing at my "high" game?

Should I be bowler of the week because I went from "super suck" to "average"?
