Okay, I’ve gotten over my lack of recognition in this race and am glad that it gave money to a charity. However, even though we are no where to be found in the results, below are pictures of TJ and me running and finishing the race (and stuffing out mouths with donuts).
It is now official for all time on the Internet and with the NSA that we RAN THIS RACE!
Have an awesome day!!!

278 to Boston 
Looks delicious!
Normally I’d say it was, but trying to eat 12 donuts in 5 minutes wasn’t the most fun. I joked to a photographer nearby that I’d give him $5 if he would just eat one of mine. He didn’t go for it. 🙂
Congrats on running–and on your wonderful attitude about it! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you! It was an experience to add to my life. I think in the end, when I see my life pass before my eyes, this will be one of the moments that I see. It is always fun to run races with my children!!!
And it’s beautiful that you can see that already! I have a feeling it will stick with them, too 🙂
Thanks. I agree. Life is short and these moments mean a lot!!!
TJ ran in shorts????
Yes. He hates the feel of pants when he is racing! In fact, he ran in a light jacket also. More power to him. I couldn’t do that!
It’s got to be the young age…. I ran this morning in two pairs of tights and it wasn’t enough to keep my butt from going numb. But I got it done. And my butt didn’t fall off (too bad).
Ha. I get to run in the snow this afternoon (supposedly). I’ll be covered up for sure.
JEALOUS! We got not precip. Just 54 mph winds yesterday and ridiculous temps (for Texas).
Regardless of the lack of ‘official’ placings we all know you placed where you said you did! I’m still getting my head around this race though. Two 2-mile dashes and a dozen-doughnut interval. They should do a triathlon version with pizza after the swim leg, beer after the bike leg and saving the doughnuts for the dessert in the run leg…
Thanks Bernie. And yes, you got it right. 2 miles, a dozen donuts and two miles back. Quite an experience. Great idea on the triathlon. It would be interesting running the last leg after drinking beer and eating pizza!!!
