chase the gobbler









ok, i know that there are ALOT of pictures of cj and spencer, but as i took them, the gangster level got better and better, so i am including them all. they really need to be seen as a group instead of individually.

this morning, at 7:00am we ran the "Chase the Gobbler". i woke up with a sore throat, worser than the last 2 days, and debated for about an hour about even running the thing, but decided to do it.... i may pay for that tomorrow....
anyho, the race was really fun, spencer did it in 24 minutes or so, and cj and i pulled in around 37 minutes or so, the results will be posted online at lasvegasrunningteam.com later today or tomorrow. i came in 402th, cj came in 405th and of course spencer was about 200 people ahead of us.
in our age category (30-34) cj came in 22, i came in 33.

cj did well considering he hasn't moved that fast since he was running from the police in high school.

i went to the bathroom before the race, but as the race started and i ran by the port-o-potties for the last time for the next 5K..... i made another pitstop, and still caught up with cj at about the 2K mark......
cj will tell you he "let" me win the race between the two of us, but don't believe him.... he did a great job....

who-hoo!! we did it!!!

i was interested in seeing just how acurate my nike+ was, i was told about .36k before it was done that i had finished the 5K, so.... i think that i need to recalibrate... question: if i didn't set the weight before i calibrated for running, will that effect the distance? because after i calibrated, i noticed i hadn't set the weight....
ANYWAYS, it was a great time, a great personal challenge and we had fun!
love you all, jess
