2/3 of the way

before 8 am this morning i had completed a 5k, running 2.3 of the 3.1 miles. what did you do?

jeremy drove kris and i downtown ish for our race. there was a small parking problem (we didnt bring any cash so he had to drop us off and find an atm) but we just made it in time. we ran/walked the thing in 30 or so minutes - our official time will be posted later tonight. apparently i was really booking it for those first two miles - kris said she thinks i was going 6.5 or 7 miles an hour which is waaay faster than i ever go on the treadmill!!! we are signing up for a couple more races in april and may - my goal is still to run the whole 3.1 miles.

when we got to the finish line, jeremy was waiting for us.

he barely made it in time to see us cross! when we were walking to the car, after grabbing our snacks, he told us that when he went to the atm, which took forever to find because all of the streets were blocked off because of the 5k, bike race, and marathon, he was putting his card in and this guy came up to him and said "i have a knife. give me twenty dollars." jeremy replied "i have a knife too. no." and the guy walked away. jeremy was kind of insulted that the guy tried to rob him because it was an older short man who kinda walked with a limp. jeremy could have easily layed him out plus jeremy was already mad that he had to go get money to park in the lot for a race that we payed to enter. we were glad that he survived an attempted mugging and that the guy was lame and doesnt know how to pick a good mugging victim.

when our official time is posted i will let you know.
