Scottsdale, Arizona
This looked
like fun. I am certainly a chocolate fan, especially for a guy. My tastes have
turned towards the deep dark chocolate as I have gotten older. Christian and I
signed up to do the 5k since we finished up a triathlon yesterday. I have never
run a 15K and if I were in better running shape I would have done it just for
that reason alone, but alas I am not in that kind of running shape. Besides I
figured that the 5k’ers were going to get to the finish line to enjoy all that
chocolate a lot faster than the 15k’ers. What a difference a day makes. It was
cold this morning. Christian and I were having trouble staying warm in our
parkas. I felt sorry for all those other severely under prepared people. This
was actually a pretty good race. The chocolate theme is a fun change of pace.
There were a lot of people and I got jammed up a few times on the course which
cut into my time. I had a pretty good run considering the congestion, my
current weight and that I raced yesterday. I got some good stuff for my Mom who
is a chocolate lover.
