Valpo 13.1


^^ Chris, quite proud of himself :-)



^^ me, frozen after the race.



^^ Chris never trains for runs, so he did a LOT of stretching after this run -- and, he was sore for a few days






^^ Chris and I at home, after the race.






It is now April of 2012, and I have pretty much forgotten most of this race.....I do remember that Chris had been wearing new work boots for the 2 weeks leading up to this race and he had a foot that was sore from something about the way his boots fit, and I was battling a cold. I didn't even want o go do the race b/c it was cold and there were 20-25 mph winds.....Chris talked me into doing it, and we wound up walking at least 9 of the 13 miles and jogging the rest of it....and, it was the first race we did together!
