Resurrection Run 5K on Saturday
I really hope to not embarass myself any further.
Two years ago, I ran this course in 29:33 (as Johnny Run). Perhaps it was an out-of-body experience.
Last year, the gun time was 30:25. (I believe that it was Jose's first 5K ever last year as he finished in 34:27) My effort really must have sucked because I didn't even blog about it. I'm hoping things don't get worse. If so, I guess they'll get worse before they get better, right?
I do this race because it's cheap. $15 (not counting the online registration fee). Plus, Jay Lee does a great job putting on races and really aims to take care of the runners. The only thing I absolutely HATE about the course is the wicked "run beyond where you turn in for the home stretch, do a U-turn and come back".
My good friend, Shelley Stephenson, who I haven't seen in quite some time, is going to run the race tomorrow. (Veronica: If you read this, you aren't supposed to say anything to Vera.) She may end up kicking my ass. Who knows?
And I'll have a potential of a challenge to face tomorrow revolving around something that happened two weeks ago that crossed the line of appropriate adult behavior.
I think Waverly and I are going to run over to Tomball Friday evening to see our good friend, Rodney Hayden, at the Main Street Crossing. $12 cover.
Finally, I'm setting the over/under of how many people I know or recognize at the Resurrection Run 5K at 60. (Please understand that I'm not bragging here. For what I do, I have a responsibility to try and know as many people as I possibly can. It makes my reporting and commentary that much more sound the more people that I know and/or know of.) I'll have the red-headed princess keep track (since she can't do any running for a month to try and work out her shin splints issues.) Put your guess in a comment - over 60 or under 60 and guess the number.

I love the Resurrection Run. I wish I was gonna be there. I need to move back to that area.
I expect to be there tomorrow. Thought I might be going to Corpus, but Jose is sick and if we're not traveling, I don't want to miss the first run of the BARC 5K challenge!
We'll see if I can beat Jose's time from last year... It was his 3rd 5K.
I'm so not in shape right now.
Let's see there will be about 250 people there, Jon will know 90% of them....well make that 20% of them, plus a few spouses, call it 58.
