5K this Saturday ...


Annie and I, along with our friends Elizabeth and Jim, are running the Astros Race for the Pennant 5K on Saturday morning.  I completely forgot we even signed up for this until Annie told me to go pick up the packets for everyone today.  It should be a fun race - we start just outside of Minute Maid park and then finish on the field.  That should be a very cool finish!

Annie wants to run the 5K around the 26 minute mark and wants me to stay with her to help push her along.  Being that I really don't like the pain of a hard 5K effort in 90 degree heat and am fat right now I agreed to do this with her.  Hopefully we will have a Race Report on Saturday with Annie getting a new PR!

Thanks for Reading,

Jeff

  3. Jon, I'd be lucky to do it in 22 mins right now. This extra 10 pounds on me is taking a bit to get used to!
