Mission Accomplished
Aug. 16th, 2008 10:42 amJust finished the Covey Run 10k. Let's see how I did:
Objectives
I finished with a time of approximately 1hr, 1min, 45 seconds. I say approximately because I cleverly left the chip that interfaces with my Ipod at home and therefore have no way to tell my actual time. I could still listen to music, though.
Of the four of my clan who ran, I was the slowest, but that's just because my dad, brother, and sister-in-law are healthy freaks of nature. I am, however, the only one who met all his goals for the race, though, so I've got that going for me.
And now I'm going to shower, because frankly I smell like El Diablo Malordoroso on free chili night.
Objectives
- Run the entire 10k. Check
- Do not finish last. Check
- Don't throw up at any point in the race, including after it's over. Check
- Stretch goal: Run faster than 11 minute miles. Bloody Check

| Song | Artist | Current Thought |
|---|---|---|
| Rock Anthem for Saving the World | Halo Soundtrack | Ok, here we go. |
| Sabotage | Beastie Boys | |
| Mr. Pinstripe Suit | Big Bad Voodoo Daddy | |
| Super Hero | Stereo Fuse | Hrm, maybe while I'm running I could think up a really cool tabletop superhero game... |
| Powerhouse (live) | Lee Press-on and the Nails | |
| Johny Q | The Crazy 8's | See, just like the Dawg Dash, this will be over before I know it. |
| He's a Pirate | Pirates of the Caribbean Soundtrack | Ah, pirates. If they can sack a village, the least I can do is run 10k. Besides, it will make it easier if I need to run from pirates. |
| I Know You Know | The Friendly Indians | You know, the "classical" music is much more inspiring than the pop stuff today. |
| Man with the Hex | The Atomic Fireballs | Great. Now what am I going to do for a power song. |
| I Wanna Be Like You | Big Bad Voodoo Daddy | |
| Objection (Tango) | Shakira | |
| Wherever, Whenever | Shakira | No matter how often I shuffle this playlist, these two songs are always together. Weird. |
| Perfect Day | Hoku | |
| Final Combat | The Immortals | I presume by "him" in "finish him" they mean the race. And I always do what the voices in my head tell me to do... |
| Canta Per Me | Noir Soundtrack | |
| Tank! | The Seatbelts | |
| Campaneros | The Grim Fandango Soundtrack | Jess, I shall finish thees race, for a fire burns in the loins of La Puma. I should probably get that checked. |
| Somebody Told Me | The Killers | |
| A Hard Day's Night | The Beatles | |
| Save a Horse, Ride A Cowboy | Big and Rich | Hey, I can see |
| The Equalizer | Music from NFL Films | Yes, I think this will do nicely for my power song. |
| Queen Anne's Revenge | Flogging Molly | Crap, there's more than I thought. Ok, and...sprint |
