After my dismal performance in the PDR over a week ago, I was a little apprehensive about the possibilities for my performance at this passed Sunday’s Parkway Run 5K. However, like I previously noted, sucking in a 5K isn’t that bad, since at least for me, it only lasts about 20 minutes.
Started off well, in 6:10 for the first mile. Hit Mile 2 at 6:20, and finished in 19:49. An acceptable performance, but a bit off my PR (19:20). But the really good news is that my team (Easy on the Eyes; I didn’t name the team) won it’s category (if there was in fact more than one team category like last year). This was a repeat win for us, with the key performances coming from Lindsay Lohan (whose parents call him Ian; that’s OK, I don’t get it either) and Seebo. Special recognition goes to JMac who ran after a wedding and about an hour and a half’s worth of sleep (though I think the “boot and rally” helped) and Ryan (“Crash”) Ward, who turned in a fine performance despite being involved in a bicycle-automobile collision not too long ago. Our prize: dinner for 10 (everyone on the team plus one guest) in the Logan Room, which is the private dining room at The Fountain restaurant in the Four Seasons hotel. Sweet!!
