5000 meters

A couple of months ago, my bro gives me a call: "Hey - I just started running.  You used to run, right?  How about we run a 5k together in March?  I'll fly out."

I hang up and think, oh no - what have I done?  I last ran a 5k 14 years and 25 lbs ago...

Well, I did meet my goals:  Finish the race (a) alive, (b) still able to move, and (c) without stopping (and, I'm not gonna lie here, (d) not in last place).

It was super-cold but that probably affected my brother more as he lives in California and had never run in the cold before (he still smoked me, of course!).

We chose this particular race (Maynard Boys and Girls Club) because of the timing and the fact that you get one free beer after the run:

(yes, those are the Lehmans in the background!)

(Note Seb in the foreground.  When he smelled the beer he said it smelled like it was still fermenting...)
