And they're off...

About a week ago our little town of Fircrest held its 3rd annual 5k "watch your speed" fun run. I know, a few of you would debate the terms "5k run" and "fun" being used in the same sentence together. A few others were also quick to point out lacking a certain Uncle John but he'll get heckled for that later. Well aside from the missing Lemming, a few of us did go out and despite the rainy weather completed the race. The participants were Nick Steier (32:39), Reid Benson (31:35), Jenny Bridges (27:03), Jean Bridges & Max Bridges (hey at least they finished), and Jeff Bridges (19:36). Sarah and Alex were there to cheer us on, and as a added bonus Alex makes a handy stretching post. Hey if you have a talent go with it I guess. Since the race was in Fircrest, we just waddled over the our house afterwards where Sarah and I made breakfast for everyone that came over.


Max not really feeling much fatigue after the race took advantage of the extra attention available at the house after the race. Right below we see Max wrangling Nick with a book. It took Max about .5secs to wear Nick down.
All in all, I think all of us had a good time. And hopefully we'll do it again sometime. Maybe a few more will step up to the start line and join us. Cough "uncle John" cough.
