Joe's Run 2009

Joe's Run took place on Saturday. The race was not officially timed / measured, but it was still a great time. I measured the course at 2.9 miles, and I finished in 19:43, which is about the same pace I've run in the past few 5Ks. Had the course measured a full 5K, I may have broken 21 minutes, but it's tough to say. The competition was a bit tougher this year, so I finished in 8th place (compared to second place last year). I was a part of team SC Johnson, which raised over $4,500 for United Cerebral Palsy of Southeastern Wisconsin. Everyone's a winner!

Mile 23: Getting close to the finish

Dave is starting to feel it a bit and Ben is staying at his pace. They are currently at: 4:03:0.

(I have to leave for a soccer game so Ben will either try to post the final time from his phone or I'll do it when we get back. Sorry to leave you hanging...)

Mile: 19: Through the Woods

Ben and Dave are still running together. They are at Mile 19 with a time of 3:07:00. Ben says they're doing fine! They're enjoying the scenery.

Mile 16:Flying through the course

Ben and Dave are at Mile 16 with a time of 2:32:00. In the photo of the Mile 16 marker, they are actually running on a run way! (Ben said, "No planes though.") :-)

Halfway Point: And We're Runnin'

Ben and Dave are at the halfway point with 2:01:20. This picture is on a road that runs around the air force base. (Holly--Ben's sister-in-law--reporting here...Andrew is otherwise occupied with a round of golf). ;-)
