Morning run, temp. 32'
Dallas and the cross country team was doing a 12 hour relay run around the track to raise money for the team. Each team member ran a mile. Dallas was the 4th runner. They started at 6AM with the football stadium lights on. Nice. The track had about 2 inches of snow on it. Since I drove Dallas and a couple other runners down to the track I decided I'd just get my morning run in at the track. I started a couple of laps before the team did. I got 2.5 miles in and then I quit running a couple of minutes before it was Dallas's turn so I could run with him. Dallas took off pretty fast with a 78 second 1st lap and I thought that it was going to be tough to hang with him but then he let up a little and I new I could stay with him at that pace. I passed him with 300 yards to go and he let me go without a fight. Where is the eye of the tiger in that boy? I ran a 5:40 and he probably got a 5:45. The snow definately was a pain.
Time 43.48, Mile avg. - 7:18
I played two hand touch football with the ward on the snow. It was fun but unfortunately the YM's Pres. broke his leg. Now that's two years in a row one of the men of the ward has broken a leg. |
