Fangtastic Run

I ran the Nashville Predators Fangtastic 5k last weekend. My sister was in town so we both registered for the race. I decided that it would be more fun to run the race with her than to try and beat the previous week's time.


The race was a lot of fun. My sister and I don't get to spend much time together these days, so it was nice to have just under 27 minutes of quality time.


Yep, just under 27 minutes, that was our time. It was my sister's best 5k ever. She said she wanted to get under 27 so I pushed her and told her she could do it. "I can't do it" she would say. "I am going to throw up" she continued. My reply was a little less than gentle when I told her "you better throw up at the end of the race or you aren't running hard enough". Ahh, what are big brothers for?


For the record, she did not blow chunks and she never stopped to walk. I have to say, it was hard for me to resist sprinting to the finish.
