Weekend Outlook

So, the Watermelon Festival 5K is obviously this weekend, but I can't find anything on the "local" radar in terms of running events. As for triathlons, there is the Washington Tri (Saturday) and the UNC Wellness Super Sprint (Sunday). That's it folks... it's still officially too hot for the 5K-a-weekend local racing schedule (although this past Monday was lovely).

So, for World Record Friday (and the watermelon festival), the record for the most watermelons crushed with the head in one minute is 40. John Allwood set this record at the Watermelon Festival in Chinchilla, Queensland (Australia) in February of 2007 (because that's when it's summer in the southern hemisphere... hmmmmm!). And, for random picture of the week... Matt sent me an email the other day with the subject "This is Why I Don't Exercise". When I started yelling that HE WAS GOING TO RUN, he pointed out that this was the title of the blog post (and Mark Remy and Matt apparently read similar blogs). So, for my personal favorite before/after running picture:

I agree that she has the most markedly different before/after shot...

Although she was a close second...

And I think this guy works down the hall from me (jk). 

And, most importantly, why are the majority of people wearing black to run if it's so hot... and why is "Bill Nye" wearing a polo shirt and a jacket?!?
