February and March passed by with little eventful activities. Jenn and I had weeknights together, but never had a long weekend for a mini-trip thanks to the winter storm in January. So my better half took care of the house on the weekdays and busied herself cooking, cleaning, volunteering (occasionally in my class which my students love), reading, and basically making it so I had no chores to do on the weekends (which I love). Every weekend found us apart- her out making the big bucks while I sat on the couch playing video games or going over to Mavis and Will's new house and hanging out with them. So that was our February and March.
However, we did have some time to start running and going to the gym during the week, so we signed up for a race on April 2nd in Clemson. We had never been to Clemson before so it sounded like a nice, relatively local place for a race that weekend. Jenn was going to take that weekend off anyway for our friends' couples shower, so it all worked out. Jenn ran in the 5k and made a personal best time of 23:43* and I ran in the half-marathon and made a 2nd personal best of 1:52:00*. The asterisks are there because I don't believe the race was marked the correct distance. The first 3 miles or so were probably each about 1/10 of a mile short, so my time was probably about 3 or 4 minutes off and Jenn's was probably a little less than that off. But I suppose I will allow Jenn's time to go in the record books as she still hasn't topped my best time from last year of 23:32. It was good to be back in a race again and I look forward to running another half marathon or two this coming year.

You failed to mention that I got first in my age group and won an awesome glass!
ReplyDeleteYes- Jenn's PR earned her a first place cup! I didn't even place.
