Jeff's first 5K

I wish Jeff's first road race had been more exciting. It was pretty small. Without a lot of frills. And the T-shirt is kind of bland. But it was sponsored by Sweet Tomatoes, so the post-race snacking was good. And....he wants to do it again, so, yeah!!! We're so pathetically out of shape that the only reason I could see for going through with it was to motivate us to do better next time, and it worked!

There was one exciting moment for Jeff when this Lamborghini parked next to us. He couldn't believe someone would drive a $150K car to a road race. "It's not for transportation." He says. And we had a good laugh at the driver. Everything about him screamed, "LOOK AT ME!!!" From his car, to his outfit, to his prancing all around warming up. He even put on this "ah, shucks" grin when folks asked to take pictures of his car. And plenty of people did. Jeff and I couldn't bring ourselves to ask, so we just waited until he wasn't around.

I can't get past the color - black - how uncool. A car like this needs to be red! Fire engine red!

I would have waited until he left too.
Congrats on the race and the motivation. Perhaps you can push some my way. Naw, I'm too happy and lazy being plump! LOL

Yeah, I think the guy with the car is trying to make up for something he is lacking - LOL!
