Back when we were running with that group, Marty was in much better running shape. His PR’s are much faster than mine, and even when he wasn’t training specifically for the short stuff, we would have some pretty good duels on the track and on the road.
Here is a picture from the finishing stretch of the OUC 5K in December of 2005. I was ahead of Marty for almost the entire race but he caught me with about ½ mile to go. I put on a massive kick and got to the finish line a couple of seconds ahead of him – all’s fair in love and war! Neither one of us were training a whole bunch at this point; Marty had just done Kona and we were very busy trying to sell our condo and pack all of our stuff for our big trip around the world in 2006. Incidentally, it’s kind of scary how many pictures are out there on the internet! It took me no time at all to dig these up.
Here we are immediately post race. No hard feelings :) And yes, before anyone points out the obvious, Marty used to have hair. I think this is the funniest comment I hear a lot when people see older pictures of him. Well, of course he had hair! Whaddya think he came out bald when he was born and stayed that way? :P

Have fun at the track Bri!! Lots of memories on the oval over the years... :)
Enjoy the track group! I'd love to find a group - I always feel like such a goober out there by myself running in circles.
You are too funny. By the way, I loved the post with the tri graphs!
Have a GREAT time at the track!! Yeah - its' been a while since I was on one as well... You and Marty are always so cute together :)
I am sending you a virtual HIGH FIVE for kicking the hubby's ass in a 5k! Enjoy the oval... as angela said I also feel like a goober circling so many times (or like a hamster on a treadmill!)... per your earlier comment on my blog, still can't believe you stopped off at the same general store in CO! it was an oasis on an otherwise miserably cold day!
