Spanky's First 5k

Yesterday my friend texted and asked if I wanted to run a midnight 5k. I said yes and posted it on facebook. Spanky asked about it, and ended up coming along.


Spanky before the race.
my camera flash wasn't working at this point because my battery was so low, but you can see the glow sticks on his wrists. they gave them to every runner.

Spanks ran it in about 24:30 - 8th in his age group! I came in 12 minutes later - 36th in my age group... He told me later that he was glad he saw my facebook status about it. So I think he had fun. I had fun. I've wanted to do a midnight run for a while.

Good times.

and way to go Spanks!
