OK, Matthew and I are signed up for the 2007 Moonlight Margarita Run on August 2, 2007 at 8:24 PM. This is my first evening race. It covers basically the same course as the Freedom 5000 which started at the rock under the MOPAC bridge. This should be interesting. We’re thinking 9 minutes/mile or just under 28:00 minutes total. We’ll see, we’ll see.
Update: We rocked! Instead of staying together and running side by side, Matthew told me to run out ahead so pushed it as hard as I could considering the heat and humidity. I finished in 26:05 (with a pace of 8:24/mile) and Matthew finished just behind me in 26:18 (with a pace of 8:28/mile). Afterwards Matthew made me feel great when he said “Your were awesome Dad”. You know what… nobody has ever told me that, and it felt so good to hear. And you know what Matthew… “You were awesome too”.
Oh one more thing, no we didn’t have any margaritas afterwards, we just had the warm glow of Matthew doing a Personal Record (PR) for the 5K.
margaritas before or after?
Supposedly afterwards, but I don’t know if we signed up for any since there is a party that cost a bit more and we didn’t pay for that.
