Just finished the Covey Run 10k. Let's see how I did:

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


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.

Song Artist Current Thought
Rock Anthem for Saving the WorldHalo SoundtrackOk, here we go.
SabotageBeastie Boys
Mr. Pinstripe SuitBig Bad Voodoo Daddy
Super HeroStereo FuseHrm, maybe while I'm running I could think up a really cool tabletop superhero game...
Powerhouse (live)Lee Press-on and the Nails
Johny QThe Crazy 8'sSee, just like the Dawg Dash, this will be over before I know it.
He's a PiratePirates of the Caribbean SoundtrackAh, 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 KnowThe Friendly IndiansYou know, the "classical" music is much more inspiring than the pop stuff today.
Man with the HexThe Atomic FireballsGreat. Now what am I going to do for a power song.
I Wanna Be Like YouBig Bad Voodoo Daddy
Objection (Tango)Shakira
Wherever, WheneverShakiraNo matter how often I shuffle this playlist, these two songs are always together. Weird.
Perfect DayHoku
Final CombatThe ImmortalsI 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 MeNoir Soundtrack
Tank!The Seatbelts
CampanerosThe Grim Fandango SoundtrackJess, I shall finish thees race, for a fire burns in the loins of La Puma. I should probably get that checked.
Somebody Told MeThe Killers
A Hard Day's NightThe Beatles
Save a Horse, Ride A CowboyBig and RichHey, I can see my house the finish from here.
The EqualizerMusic from NFL FilmsYes, I think this will do nicely for my power song.
Queen Anne's RevengeFlogging MollyCrap, there's more than I thought. Ok, and...sprint



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.
