Heading out of town

So we are heading out of town for the weekend. Going to the Big Easy............. Going to do some humidity training. Oh yes nothin like running with your clothes sticking to you breathing through a straw ahhhh. Got to love it!!!!!!! Just like Indiana.

Run Through Redlands

I had a fantastic day!!!!! Got up early and headed out to help set up the easy up (tent/booth) at the race. I then got to round up our athletes and register them. Nothing like telling the registration folks that I'm signing up a bunch of runners and won't be paying for them either! I had been working with the Kiwana's for months setting up our sponsorship and they dropped the ball BIG TIME nothing like being a major sponsor and not getting recognized. WE WERE LEFT OFF THE SHIRTS! that is the end of my rant for that one.
The best part was knowing that it was going to be my wife's first race ever (10k). Things worked out perfectly. I left early to set up and she was able to to take her time and walk down to the booth on her own time. The race was in our home town walking distance from our house. I started a half hour before her and was cruising along, mind you I DON'T RUN ON THE ROAD! This was my first 1/2 on the pavement, we'll see if there is going to be a second. So at ten miles in I bellowed out "hey chicken" and was able to run with my lovely bride for a few hundred yards. We soon went our separate ways on the course unfortunately for me I could not pick up the pace at the end but I finished strong. More to the point my super wife finished in great spirits. I was a little concerned she might not have a good day and hold me responsible. Not that I would shy away from that, I just wanted her to have a good time. I think she did, she doesn't hate me right now.
