Run, Fatty, Run!

It's about time I got my fat ass back out on the streets to tun. Ever since the big race back in November, I slacked off pretty hard and put on a good 10 pounds this winter. Luckily, Gilbert called to remind me of my favorite race: the Twilight 5K. It's a great race because it's at night (hence the twilight) and it usually storms like a mother right at the end.

Tonight was no different -- big storms moved in and hit us hard right as we middle-tier runners were finishing. It's nice to know my times weren't that bad. (Amazingly, my best time ever was in 2002, just a couple weeks after I got a bunionectomy cast off my foot.) Just for historical interest, here's a history of my times in the Twilight:

Congrats on finishing! I had to make a u-turn to get home from the Y because of all you freaks running in the rain! Does a little lightening make you run faster? ;-)

Lightning *always* makes you run faster. It's one of the top runners' little secrets.
