Funniest Exchange of the Weekend!
It was great to see Joe Breda out at Run The Woodlands 5K on Saturday with everyone and even better for him to come out and run the Houstonian Lite 30K today! (Joe, great job both days!)
Everyone I think got to learn that Joe's a sharp and extremely funny guy and he is coordinating the first annual Houston Running Bloggers Pre-Marathon Pasta Party for Friday night, January 13th; however, we have to have a good-hearted laugh at his expense.
Joe's primarily a cyclist (but is running the marathon in January this year to vindicate last year's peformance) so he knows from doing cycling events what packet pickup, late registration and all of those things are. But this is only his third running race ever and the other two were the $1 Run The Woodlands 5Ks.
Jen, Holden and myself were standing waiting for the race to start (Steve Bezner is up in the pack a little bit). It wasn't to long from starting as the playing of the national anthem was just about ready to be sung. Joe comes walking up and Holden and I shake his hand and tell him how glad we are to see him there.
Holden has this running shoe fetish so naturally Holden looks down, see Joe's shoes and asks him, "Where's your chip?!"
Joe replies, not completely understanding what Holden asked him, "What do you mean? My pants?"
Holden goes, "No, your timing chip."
A slight embarrassment comes over Joe and we motioned to him that the chip pickup was on the other side of City Hall. In the meantime, the race started, Holden and I chuckled for about much of the first mile as Joe went and got his chip before registering the second largest chip difference of all runners - 2:33.1. (At least, it wasn't because he got stuck in a blue can!)
Way to finish, Joe! The marathon is but 35 days away!
