12 miles and still alive (only 8 for me though)

sunday. the day after. the longest one time run or walk for either of us (at least that i can remember). crystal did 12 miles and i did 8. she ran and i walked (i walked pretty fast though). i've got some pictures for you to check out.

this is crystal driving us to practice at 5:45 am.

bagel and peanut butter. the prefered breakfast of runners everywhere (well until you realize that it weighs down your stomach). see also "captain doodoo".

this is crystal and molly finishing. crystal won. i'll let here give you some info on how quick she finished the 12 miles. that little kid in the red is taking them some water. i asked for beer when i finished but they didn't have any. bummer. i now know to take my own.
this is crystal trying to look happy but i think she was pissed i was taking pictures. i had been sitting there for about 35 minutes since i'm a wuss and only walked 8 miles. i finished in 2 hours and 3 minutes with is about a 15 min. 20 sec. pace. not bad for an old, fat, hurt ankle guy. let's see, 15 min. mile * 26.2 miles = 6 hours and 45 minutes. it might be dark by the time i finish the marathon. just kidding. i should be able to start running in a week or so, hopefully.

i promise i will have photographic proof of me soon. you know i was there. someone had to take these pictures.

gb nature.
