My legs hurt

Okay, in the interest of total disclosure, I would like to publish a partial list of people who beat me in yesterday's 5K Run For a Reason:

-Man pushing double stroller (actually came in 4th)
-Woman pushing double stroller
-4 Junior High aged girls
-Numerous teenage boys
-My 13 yr. old nephew
-My 41 yr. old sister (I have permission to mention her age)


People I beat:
-Middle aged housewife (only because she stopped to use the porta-potty at mile 2)
-Old guy
-Little kids
-Walkers

Conclusions:
-It's time to dust off the running shoes
-I am getting old
-I need a nap

I'm just in it for the T-Shirt

If you didn't know, I (Jon) actually ran Cross Country all through High School- not the fastest on the team, but not the slowest. Actually, my best time for a three mile course was 18 minutes flat. That's six minute miles. Today I couldn't do that without the assistance of a Segway Scooter.

Nonetheless, I'm on my way to a 5K (that's three miles, people) race/run. It's called Run For A Reason and it's being sponsored by Grace Community Church. The proceeds go to benefit Blood:Water Mission. It's a great cause, check it out.

If I survive, I'll let you know how it went. If not... my will is in the lock box, wife!
