Weekend Outlook

I haven't had this much fun training and racing for a while... WAHOOO for long weekends, multi-sport events, and mixing up the normal weekly schedule! And, to complete this week of randomness, we have some more AWESOMENESS planned for the weekend. For the "normal" runners, there's a 5K at WakeMed on Sat. (Denny's Challenge 5K, 8AM). But, why run a 5K on a hilly course when you could run a 5K/10K at the beach (Tri Span 5K/10K, 7AM) or a marathon up a mountain (Grandfather Mountain Marathon, 6:30AM)?!? And lets not forget the PFT Challenge #3 (7AM) and Triangle Tri (7:30AM) on Sunday... either one should feel real good after the Inaugural RRO / FASTcoaching Beer Run on Saturday night (7:30PM, Village Draft House). But hey, we deserve it after racing so well this week at the Old School Aquathon #2, Godiva Track Meet, Bear 5-Mile Run, and the Grizzly Bike Ride (did I get everything?!?).

And, for World Record Friday, I tried to find a record that would encompass some of that above paragraph... so here goes. The record for the Renaissance Mile (1-mile run, solve a Rubik's cube, drink 40oz of malt liquor, dunk a basketball on a 10ft rim, play Chopin's Minute Waltz, and eat a pint of icecream... the order is up to whoever wants to do all that) - 29:09!

Oh, and when do y'all want to start training for our next 5K Marathon (and yes, I did start yelling at my computer when I saw this... the people in the lab next door probably think I'm insane)?!?
