Okay, this morning, my dad and I completed the IBM Classic 10K in 1 hour, 31 minutes, 24 seconds. That time is what our clocks said not the official time with the electronic chip. We finished so that was good. Yesterday I had to do 6 miles with my running group and lets just say it kicked me in the butt. I just couldn't run, I forgot my watch, forgot my music, and just overall was off. I think it was from exhaustion. I had been working very hard on the dock, processing boxes and boxes of materials coming into the store. My dad and I did my pace of 4 minutes walking 1 minutes running, which equal about a 15 minute mile. I am not fast, but I have long stamina than runners (or that is at least what I say to myself).
Here are some before and after shots:
My dad and I waiting in the car, we got there early.
About to head out the the starting line, we left like this than got there. I said I was cold and walked back to get a jacket and gloves for my hands.
After the race, I like this shot because you kind of see our numbers, but our faces (mostly mine) are in shadows.
Final picture at the end, ready to go home and take a shower and relax.
Thank gosh I don't have work tomorrow, but I do have a weigh-in and then lunch with a High School teacher at freebirds. So either I will be celebrating or eating my feelings. Which ever way I am sure I will be fine. I have to push on threw.

T. Belle,
Regardless of how tired you were, I am still SO glad you pushed on and had some quality bonding time with your dad.
The photos preserve the moment in time and you'll have proof of your utter awesomeness.
You're next race will be better and hopefully go a little smoother.
Hats off to you, my "skinny cow"!
You look a LOT better than I did after running with dad: Bay to @#$%! Breakers.
