Photo Diary: Mustache Dash

Dec 3

At some point during my STL-DFW-SAF-DFW-DET-STL journey, Amie and I signed up for the Mustache Dash 5k, and I'll be honest, I totally forgot about it post marathon (which I'm recapping at some point in my life I swear!) in addition to conveniently forgetting about rest days that follow a race.

Details.

When I left the house that morning Mark just shook his head. Probably because he knows I'm accident prone -- my feet and knees were super angry after Detroit, and, well, he doesn't want to push my wheelchair. Which is totally selfish, I'd do it for him.

Ok, that's a lie, I'd hire someone.

Race day came and boy was it brisk! Thankfully we dressed warm.

I'm not familiar with the area so it was a nice change, there was plenty of roadside support. It was small so it felt quaint, like a big group run.

We took turns pushing the B.O.B (stroller, not adult toy) and holy smokes, that is a workout in itself! Thankfully no PR's were being reached for, so we took our time, really enjoyed ourselves, and before we knew it, we were at the finish (results + photos)

Full disclosure: my knee did start bugging me a bit, so there was some walk/run action, but really I'm goofball for running so soon after Detroit when I knew my body wasn't ~~quite~~ ready. And, at some point, I should go to the doctor. Maybe.
