2015 RedLegs Run

Third times a charm (but so were the first and second time)!

Yesterday Matt and I (along with Michael, Andrea and Roni) ran the RedLegs Run.  It was Matt and my third year in a row.  I couldn't have done it without him.  With his encouragement I ran the entire course, despite the sweltering heat!

I'm not disappointed in my time although I was a little slower than last year.  It was hotter than the previous years.

Toasted Roll 5K

I ran the Toasted Roll 5K on Saturday, June 13th during Alumni Weekend 2015.  Several of my co-workers ran too!  I bought the new spirit tee to wear and it was too hot.

It was a nice route around campus and I did pretty well. There were some changes to the original route and I think it may have been a little short.

I was disappointed to stop and walk halfway through but picked back up when I was passed by another runner.  She was my pacer as she ran a bit ahead of me.  We finished together after she encouraged me to go on when I tried to stop and walk again.

I was first in my age group and gave her my award (a Miami coffee mug).  I thought I would see her at MiamiFest later however she explained her grandmother died unexpectedly the night before and she and her brother were heading home after the race.

Hope to see her again next year and wish I had a picture with her.

Mother's Day Race 2015

Today Jody and I ran in the Hospice Care of Middletown's Mother's Day Walk/Run.  It was at Woodside Cemetery and went through the grounds past memory markers for hospice patients, some of whom I knew.

It was a race with a lot of contributions making it possible.  The shirt wasn't one of my favorites and they didn't have bibs (although it was timed with a shoe chip).  I loved it though and would definitely do it again.

We had to take a picture before the race in front of the crematorium just to show we were at a cemetery.

We ran into my niece Julia and Sarah before the race (Julia works for Hospice).

Here we are getting ready to start.

This is after the race, watching people at the finish line.

And I got a medal for finishing 3rd in my age group.

Little Kings Mile (step two toward Brew Hog status)

Last night we ran the Little Kings Mile.  Matt, Emily and I all ran and it was another fun Christian Moerlein Beer Series race!

Running in Bangkok

Today I ran with Andy in his neighborhood in Bangkok.

It was a spur of the moment decision after eating lots of tidbits from the little outdoor market up the soi (street).  I was stuffed and knew it was a bad time to run but it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up.

We ran around the block about ten times.  The first couple blocks I thought I might throw up.  The heat didn't even bother me, just my stomach.

But I'm glad I did it!  I regret not having any photos so I'm adding this picture of us the day before at the temple.

PR baby!

Results

Shamrock Shuffle take three!

A great time was had by all!  The beer was flowing (Fat Tire!).  The food was plentiful.  And I'm hoping when results come out I will have PR'd.  Despite the rain (which actually subsided while we were running), the weather was actually pretty pleasant.

Getting ready to run in the rain.

The Start!

Back together for year three!

Did they have Fat Tire last year?
