race day

Today was my race. I did pretty well, coming in under my target. My time was 28:44, a 9:16 pace. I'm now ready for Lelaine to give me a massage. Thanks to Mom and Justin for donating money. Coach Love (my baseball coach when I was a kid, who died of brain cancer) would be proud, although also probably shocked that I voluntarily ran anywhere.

My favorite part was having a celebratory Eskimo pie at the end. A 10k training program starts next weekend and I might do it, although one of the instructors thinks I should do a triathlon since I like biking (she must be crazy). We will see what happens.

Chris! Congrats! I'm (probably) going to sign up for the Marine Corps 10k (in October). You, me, and lots of eskimo pies at the end, ok?
