5K in the rain

Today is J's run. It started as Joan's run, in honor of their mother who died of pancreatic cancer. But another family member/ friend has also died, so they've changed it to J's run.

It's raining. It's a slight drizzle but rain none the less. More is expected for tomorrow for Yoga on the Steps. Goodie.

Last night I went to pick up our shirts at the organizers house. So we are wearing them today. While there I realized I never signed Sharon up. Oops. When I got home I also discovered I didn't sign her up for Tortoise and the Hare. Need to do that this afternoon.

on the side walk near the start line.
good advice that I should take

The rain was pretty much constant thru the 5K. Bonnie finished at 52.07, me at 52.14 and Sharon at 58.23. I think that was a personal best. Bonnie and I slowed down a bit because of the wet roads. One section was really slippery.

Yesterday Betsy and I did our Friday walk- about. It's always good training for a 5K. She walks fast. And I suspect she slows down for me. Sadly, any calories I burnt were put right back on. I stopped at McDs and got a frozen lemonade. Tart and sweet. Dang it was good. Sadly it's 270 calories for the small. Much more than a Coke of the same size.

Yesterday I also put a "picture" on my Walgreens walking page. I am not generic. I used the illustration in my header above.
