Free To Run 5K Photos

The following are some of Gary’s photos from the Charities Challenge “Free To Run 5K” yesterday. That’s why I love these events - the president of the organization is running around with his little digital camera, shooting photos of everyone! When does that happen?!

Everyone waving at the start (no need to point me out):



Ready, set, go:



Hitting the finish line, stopping my watch:



As I mentioned in my last post, Gary had me announce the finishers for a while. Part way through, he told me to pose for a photo. This is the best pose I could come up with. Sorry it sucks so hard:


People haven’t posed like that since the 70s...

This woman brought someone to run the race from Switzerland, and here I am announcing him as he comes to the line:



Getting ready to go, when Gary asked me to say a few words:



Here are the official results:


The first female was on my tail - just 20 seconds back

- 3rd overall
- 2nd in age group
- 2nd personal fastest 5K


So check out the last post for my race report if you missed it. And thanks Gary for all the great photos, and for a fun race!

(And now that’s 5 out of the last 6 posts that contain the “bowl full of sunshine!” Sweet.)

  9. Love the pics! The pose was too much it looks like you were singing. "Staying Alive" popped in my head for some reason.

  10. Congrats on another zippy race! And what an honor to be able to announce after...seems like you managed to stay on your best behavior, too :). What a beautiful venue for a race.

    P.S. LOVE the 4th of July cards.

  18. Ah, geez, when did you add the yellow head band and tube socks?! As if it wasn't bad enough before...

  19. Damn you! I've been saying "bowl full of sunshine" for about a week now! That's not so bad all by itself, but that pixelated image of you always seems to pop into my head at the same time. I'm about ready to stick a screwdriver in my ear just so I can end the torture.

  23. Just found your blog.... very funny and uplifting.

  24. You are super fast. I think it is time to lay out in the yellow shorts so your thighs lose that pasty whiteness, LMAO.

  26. Ok, how many bowls of sunshine do u really have? A drawerful?

    And....what's up with the tube socks? Man..that does take me WAY back in time...I'd laf at u, but since u're smoking hot on the run, I'd be foolish to.
