Rock n' Roll Half Marathon, we hardly knew ya!!


Sunday was the Rock n' Roll Half Marathon. It was a great experience. My time was 1:50:38. Good, but not better than my friend Laura who turned in a smoking time of 1:38:20. We had a little side bet going and I had to watch White Chicks (ugh!).

The first finisher was Kenyan woman Edna Kiplagat. When she finished the race, several witnesses saw her start dancing the running man and exclaim "Who is your DADDY?!!? 13.1, you ain't got nothing!" She then showered, where she had to run around to get wet.

It was great to see all the spectators that came out to cheer the runners on and all the volunteers who gave their time to ensure the race went smoothly.

Here are some pics.

In case you forgot my name!

It's eaaarly!!
Tina, me, and the hardware.

That evening was the 3 Doors Down concert. My roommate Fred scored us some VIP passes so we were right up front. It was a good show. Much better than Counting Crows!!

Can't wait until next year!!!
