What more could you ask for? Today was the 1st Annual Jeffersonville Shamrock 2-Miler. With this thing being in our home town, how could we not run it?
Unfortunately I forgot my camera. So you will have to check out Chris's blog to see the pics. With that being said, on to the recap.
We arrived to the sign it about 5:45. Then we waited around for the rest of the people we knew who were running. At approximately 6:30 things were underway. It was a very fast start. Scotty Z took off like a bat out of hell. Not sure what he was thinking. After about the 1st block, Chris and I settled into a good pace. We ended up running the 1st mile in 7:30. Not bad. About 1/2 mile from the finish we caught and passed Scotty Z. I think I need to tell him the story of the turtle and the hare. With about 50-75 feet left Chris and I ended up racing to the finish. I am pretty sure that he got me this time. DAMN LONG STRIDE!!! We ended up finishing in 14:52. I was very happy with the time and the lack of knee pain.
After the run they had green beer, snack, door prizes, and Irish Dancing. We participated in the beer and snacks. Not the dancing.
I had a great time and hope that it happens again soon.
Later
Well said. And thanks for noticing my long stride.
