Several months ago I started on a new personal quest, to get in shape. In order to do that I took up running and set a goal of competing in a 5K race. Well, this weekend I completed that goal. I competed in the Chik-fil-A race series 5K race in Decatur. It was a well put on race. My co-worker and good friend Phil Roberts ran it with me. Steven was going to run it with us, but he got a bad case of the poops. Both Steven and Phil have been extremely supportive in my efforts to get in shape and I'm extremely thankful for both of their support.
Phil and I had a great time at the race!

We didn't win, obviously, but we did complete it in under 40 minutes. We ran an average of 12:37 a mile which isn't bad for a couple of old dudes. We had a great time and I'm so happy I've set foot on this path. I feel a thousand times better than I used to and am able to do so many things that I couldn't do before, like run a 5K.

Next is the Heel and Crank Duathalon that is a 2.5 mile run, 10 mile bike, and then another 2.5 mile run. This just might kill me.
