Tried to go to the boardwalk afterwards but soon after we got there, it started raining pretty good. On an interesting note, we did find the guy who was on the show Hoarders that had all the old vintage pinball and arcade games. Not sure if anyone watches that show. That episode was on last year I think.
Thanks! I am pretty happy to be able to have an under 10 min mile. Seemed to take me forever to be able to do that and even now it is still tough. I think I started out around 12 min/mile about 3 years ago, so I am proud of how far I have come.
Now if I could just loose about 15-20 lbs, I would be even faster!
Ran the Runway 5k in Wildwood, NJ today. Thank goodness it was cloudy because it would have been brutal if the sun was out! Not sure on the official time, but as I ran by the clock it was 29:51. My garmin measured 3.02 miles. Ugh, I hope it wasn't a bit short because that would be an awesome time if it was truly 5k. Anyway, it was a really great small race. 191 participants, 163 finishers. I was 10th in my age group. Woohoo! There was a group of Coast Guard cadets that were running in formation behind the last runners. They were singing and chanting to encourage them along. You ran through the hangar that houses the Wildwood Naval Air Station Museum for the finish. Cape May Brewing Company was there giving free tastings. Definitely one we will do again. They are hoping to make it bigger and better next year and maybe hold it as a part of the Escape the Cape triathalon weekend (here is one for you @joel_maxwell -they take you out on a ferry into Delaware Bay and you jump off the boat and swim a mile back!) Anyway, next year, I will hope for clouds again!
Unfortunately, Dan didn't win the ride on the B-17. The guy who won didn't even run the race. He donated $100 to the 5k and just asked to put his name in the hat. Wasn't even there to receive the prize. Not implying anything, but hmmmmmmmm.............

Although I do generally enjoy plyo, just not Tapout's version, so I may occasionally throw in plyo from P90X or Insanity.
