10am race start

My fiancee and I ran this one together. He is not a runner. I think he wanted to sign up to be sweet for V-day. And it was. When he needed to walk we held hands. It was cute. He ran straight for the first mile. It had a few pretty steep hills. It was kinda nice to have some one that I care so much about to run with.

Then he became a buttface and ran ahead of me at the last few hundred feet. Once he crossed the finish line (I was directly behind him) he turned and said , "Ha ha, I beat you." And now is telling all of our friends. I thought he was speeding ahead b/c as soon as he was done he wanted to go back outside to have a cigarette.

Next time I will leave him at the starting line--he can eat my dust. HAHAHAHA

Friends of our joined as a couple team and got 3rd place. NOw I want to see how we rank but they haven't posted the times yet. Also, I messed up and didn't hit stop on the Garmin. We started in the back of the pack sto 35 is only a guess b/c that is what the timer said when we ran up to it.

Happy Valentines all!

AW! Sounds like a fun Valentine's 5K holding hands and all. Boys are such show-offs sometimes! :) Next time you can chick him!

HAPPY VALENTINES!

Chick your man for Valentines (if you can)! Sounds like fun.

That was sweet of him to run a race with you for Valentines Day. But you really should chick him next time.

I've forgotten to stop my Garmin at the end of a race several times. It's easy to get distracted at that point.

Yeah, what a buttface! But he sounds kinda fun anyway, maybe even a keeper. You could totally chick him anytime anyway!

Um what is chick? Sounds like whatever it is he would deserve it!

Aunt-he is pretty funny!

Sorry I missed this report! That's what happens when your blog tracking is spotty. So I'm late saying: congratulations! Let the man gloat - maybe it will get him running regularly. (hehehe) Sounds like you had a great time. :)
