Jenny, Brenden, Katy, Eric, and I arrived around 8:15am at White Rock Lake and started the race at 9:15. Over 600 runners and walkers participated, raising over $93,000 to fight colorectal cancer! Despite a starting temperature in the 40s, the sky was clear and the sun bright, so we were quite comfortable by the end of the race. Since I&#8217;m <em>sure <\/em>you&#8217;re wondering, no one ran in just their underwear, due at least in part to the cold weather. Most wore sweatpants or leggings with boxers or panties over them and a shirt or jacket on top. Needless to say, it was a weird sight. Here we are in our boxers:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.andybox.com\/wp-content\/2009\/10\/us.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.andybox.com\/wp-content\/2009\/10\/us.jpg\" alt=\"us\" title=\"us\" width=\"400\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2065\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.andybox.com\/wp-content\/2009\/10\/us.jpg 453w, http:\/\/www.andybox.com\/wp-content\/2009\/10\/us-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of Katy and Eric:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.andybox.com\/wp-content\/2009\/10\/katy-and-eric.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.andybox.com\/wp-content\/2009\/10\/katy-and-eric.jpg\" alt=\"katy and eric\" title=\"katy and eric\" width=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2064\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.andybox.com\/wp-content\/2009\/10\/katy-and-eric.jpg 453w, http:\/\/www.andybox.com\/wp-content\/2009\/10\/katy-and-eric-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Eric and I ran while the girls and Brenden walked. Eric turned in an impressive time of 26.39. RunOn posted the full results here. I was also proud of preggo Jenny for walking the entire 3.1 miles while pushing Brenden and cooking\/carrying Jonathan. It wasn&#8217;t easy and left her very tired and sore, but she pushed ahead and finished. Great job, love!<\/p>\n<p>I tried <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chirunning.com\" target=\"_blank\">ChiRunning<\/a>, a fairly new (?) approach to running that alters your stride and posture to help you run more efficiently and reduce injury &#8211; just what I need. Although I haven&#8217;t mastered it yet, the technique allowed me to finish in a PR (personal record) of 28:18 with only minor pain in my leg. I was so happy and grateful to God and the designers of the technique. I ran most of the way with short stretches of walking. When I ran, I ran significantly faster than I normal do. ChiRunning helps you cover more ground per stride with less effort. I hope that by further improving my technique and building my endurance, I might be able to keep up the same pace for an entire 5k or longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Undy 5000 race was a big success!
