The race went well. I looked back and it was actually a little under 64 minutes that we did the race last year. This year Nick and I did the race together again, and I finished in 62:31. Along the way on the sidelines cheering and afterwards I saw Cathy J., Nat & Jeanette, DZ, Andrea, Ethan, Matt, Caroline and Jana, and Brent said he saw me but apparently I ignored him. Of the runners, I saw Adam, Becca, Jason, Cara, Bill, Adam, Beth, Leah’s parents and aunt and uncle, Mike & Margaret. I think I am forgetting a few people, but man, there were a ton of people there!
We didn’t drink any beer during the race this year (which might be the cause of our 90 second decrease in run time), but we did still get some cool stuff – teeshirts and such along the way.
I spent the rest of the day BBQ hopping – First to Marilyn and John’s over at piedmont park which was great, especially since I hadn’t seen them in forever; and afterwards to DZ’s place for the rest of the evening. I was initially planning on going to Decatur to see Moose and the dance crowd as well as my parents for the fireworks, but I was exhausted, so I didn’t end up driving down there, and instead went home.
All in all, it was a lovely 4th of July, and a nice break from work during the week!
