Specifically, I helped with the finish line. I helped setup the big clock over the chute for people to run under and setup the ropes to keep people going in the right direction after they have finished. The whole time we are giving each other a hard time about everything. During the actual race, as in years past, I was designated to run the Time Machine. No, not that kind of time machine (but that would be cool). It is a machine that records the times of people by having the user (me in this case) type in the runners bib number and hit enter. I know what you are thinking, what if there is a group of people? In that case just hitting enter will record a time and the number will be entered in later from the bib tab that is ripped off of the bottom of each runners bib. I ran the "machine" for both the 5k and the 1 mile runs.
I slipped out a little before the kids fun run so that I could spend some more time with B-Town and because I knew that G was probably ready for some down time. On the way home I stopped at our local grocery store and purchased some sausage, eggs, and biscuits. Obviously, I made biscuits and gravy with eggs, and yes, they were awesome.
Tomorrow I am looking at a long run with a side of mowing the lawn post-run. Should be a good day, especially if B-Town sleeps well tonight. Speaking of which...Good Night!
