Beer & Bagel Run

Myself & Doug before the race started.

My friend Beth & I before the race.

My workout buddies from the PCC.

Doug & I ran the 2010 Beer & Bagel Run @ Quarry Oaks Golf Course on Sunday, November 7th. It was a nice morning for a run and wasn't all that cold out (once you started moving around)! It was about 3.8 miles of fun! There were HUGE hills to go both up & down, there was a creek crossing where you had to use a rope to go down an the creek embankment and then claw your way back up the other side, and there was sand, gravel, and really think grass to run through. At the end there was beer & chilli waiting for us (I was told the bagels were the "pre-race" snack - which I missed). It felt good when we were done, however the pain during it was horrible! In the end, we will probably sign up for it again next year! :)

10 K Race

Doug & I ran the Lake Wherspann 10K (6.2 miles) on August 1st. It was my first race ever (other than high school track). It was chipped timed, so that made me feel pretty darn important! :-) We ran the race in 1 hour 6 minutes. We decided to run it so that we could send in our time for Walt Disney World Half Marathon in January 2012. If we send in a good time when we register for the WDW 1/2 Marathon race in January 2011, we can get ourselves out of the "walking" corral and bypass a whole bunch of people (FYI - there are over 20,000 people that do the WDW 1/2 Marathon!!). 1 hour 10 minutes was our goal, so we made that! It was brutal, but we survived!
