Superbowl Super Fun Run

For the past several years Todd and I have had a mini-tradition with our favorite friends Glen and Carol.  We do a brick on Superbowl Sunday.  We would load up our bikes and drive down to Conley Lane in Cove, Oregon.  We'd park at the hay bales, ride our bikes 7 plus miles, return to the hay bales, and set out to run about 3 miles on our jelly-legs.  Glen came up with the idea as a way to jump start our running/riding year and to offset the snacks we'd be eating later in the day.

Today Glen and Carol did the Cove brick and Todd and I drove to Minden and participated in a 10K fun run the Tumbleweeds Gymnastics group put on.

There were over 150 runners for the 5K and 10K events...pretty darned respectable turnout for an inaugural event.  The sky was blue, the wind was still, and the course was flat.  We followed the run with a mocha at  Coffee On Main in Gardnerville.  Not a bad way to spend a morning.

Next event?  The Aunt Bee Memorial Brick.  It is a family event that we've done in honor of my Aunt Bee who passed away in 2010.  I guess I'd better get on that bike with a bit more regularity!
