Along with the festival, each year there is a 10-mile running race. So many people want to run the race, that now you have to enter your name in a lottery and hope you get selected to participate. Though I put my name in, I didn't get picked. A couple of my friends did, however, so I went to support them and cheer them on. We were up bright and early to metro in to the start line:
I made a sign and kept an eye for Jess and Rich, who were on pretty similar pace, but just a few mins apart in total. And yes, I asked another spectator to take this picture of me cheering:
After finishing in a solid time of 1:20:30 (that's 8:03/mile pace), Jess still looked fresh and had the energy to do some posing:
Here's the whole crew (minus me, the photographer). Most here are runners, except for Michelle and Lauren on the right who were fans like me:
Rich and his ladies. I think this is the longest race he's ever run, and he did great with a time of 1:24:33 (8:28/mile pace). Congratulations, Rich!
