Bugger

Don't you hate those people who always look good in photos? Even at 7am? Even after a hard 5K. Grr. So, as promised, here's some pics of Debbie and I. The Thanksgiving Day run was held in Balboa Park in San Diego. It was raining. At one point it was even pouring. Like Seattle kind of rain.
This is Deb and I before the race. All I can say is that I think I was very tired. Deb looks great. I should have kicked her right before the picture.

Dude, it was wet. You can't see it, but we're in an gated off beer garden after the race. The thing is, you can't go grab your beer and go find an awning to sit under. You must stay in a designated area so as not to be wandering loose in the park with alcohol. Also it ensures that everyone drinking in that area is indeed of age. So it was pouring. I had just changed into a warm (and dry) t-shirt and jacket after the race (because I was soaked). As you can see here, we were not incredibly dry. Again, Deb looks fantastic, and I've decided I'm not allowed to smile that big in photos anymore. I was seriously tired though... in my defense.
It may not look like it, but I'm very content right here. I was cold and wet and for some reason my face looks swollen, but I was very happy. I think we stood in there enjoying our beers for at least 15 minutes in the pouring rain. It was around 9am. Oh, and the beer was Stone IPA. I don't think I would've stood in the rain that long for a Bud Light. Ok, maybe I would've. We had a lot of fun though. I had a decent 5K, something to be proud of. And it was definately exciting to be drinking beer in that atmosphere. Drew was there too, but for some reason, Deb hasn't posted pictures of him yet on her facebook. Yes, I stole these photos, without permission. But there's my disclaimer, so it's legal.
