Pat's Run : Official Thread (Page 2)

OH right I forgot Jerry was marking my house, but I didn't realize he was THAT potent...AMAZING!

Jer and I already have a lovechild though - sportsjer, remember!

Methinks someone doesn't remember the reason she told Jerry he had to park it on
the porch for a while.

Remember, Crazy Uncle Eddie isn't the only man in your life.

So I am still optomistic about doing this race, even though I am sick this week and my wife could go into labor any day now. I think I will go to register Friday at lunch if I am feeling better. I want to register my son for the .42 mile kids race too. On Monday my son was able to run for a mile straight with me, I would stop him every so often and make him drink water. He did the mile in 18 minutes. Not too bad for a 2 year old. LOL He loved it and wanted to keep running. That kid has too much energy.

picked up my shirt and my kids shirts. Both the 2-yr old and the 7-yr old will be running the kids' race

Did they have shirts small enough for a 2 year old? 2T or 3T?

smallest they had was an XS...it'll be a little big, but my 2yr old is petite. Should be fine after a wash

I am thinking about signing up last minute to do this race.

Anyone way out East doing it - carpool? I will be slow as molasses as I'll be running injured - anyone wanna run slow as molasses with me? But more to support rather than race.

Not me, Jen. I'm trying to win the race.

Related question: has anyone tried to pick up packet the morning of the race? Is this doable or a total nightmare-zoo?

You'll definitely win! I KNOW IT, I can FEEL it.

Why drive? Take the Light Rail down.

Thats a nice sounding idea, but when you live somewhere even BUSSES dont go the Light Rail isn't an option either. By the time I DRIVE to Dobson to get on the lightrail I have already been in my car about half an hour, and at that point am about 10 minutes from Tempe. Carpooling is still the most socially conscious thing to do.

I feel like racing! Will try to make it. Am well-tapered after this lousy week of training...

I suppose so?  hahaha...just show up and I'll make sure I work on ya.  I don't know how long of a line i will have.  As of right now, I'll be in the AZTECH training tent, which will be set up at the Northeast corner of Rio Salado & Packard Drive.  This is about 200m north of the Start line & northwest of the baseball stadium.  So please stop by for some free work!

Well, I did it. Even though I am still sick I still went and signed up for the race tomorrow. Signed up my son for the kids race too. So that is going to be cool.
I just need to convince myself to take it easy tomorrow. Not an easy thing to do

Awesome Ryan. I am feeling a little under the weather myself. I am going run with the kid in the stroller. Took him for a short run today and he had no problems so this should be fun. Let me know if you want to meet for a pre-race prayer. Another guy Jason who is also a fellow FCA Enurance team member will be running with his kid in a stroller too.

I went and registered today! Now I HAVE to get out of bed for it. I knew it wasn't going to happen if I waited until race day...

I beat my personal goal of 27 min. chip time was 26:45

It was a really fun and worthwhile event. My wife and I ran it. We both hit our goals and am really enjoying the beautiful weather. I love it around here.
