Race for the Roses

I’ll just let this photo speak for itself:

Yes, in fact, that is a PR. By almost 3 minutes, in fact.  The official results aren’t posted yet, but the PB&Js had a fantastic showing with many PRs (and Emily placed 4th in our age group for the 5K).

Now – brunch! Later, race report!

    What a perfect race day! I’m so glad we got to start it off together. Just looking at that Garmin again makes me so happy! Great job!

    gazelle reply on April 7th, 2009:

    It was awesome starting together – it wasn’t even so bad being passed by all the fast old men :)
