Back Bay 5K

Back Bay 5K As I wrote in a previous entry, I signed up to run the Back Bay 5K last Saturday. Results here. I very intelligently chose to walk across the bridge in flip-flops. For those of you who were not at MIT last weekend and arent aware, it was rather chilly. And by rather, I mean freaking. While Sam 07 pins on his bib, I warm up my hands so I can pin another bib on Veena 06. Dont let our smiles fool you. It is freezing. I attempt to curl up to conserve warmth (not tie Sams shoelace) as Melis 08 laughs at me in her warm, warm sweatshirt. I hate you, Melis. (But you do have beautiful eyes :P ) I went on a warm-up jog and when I came back, everyone had lined up to start. Not cool, people. We had a very nice view of the Esplanade while running. Here, some of the organizers tally the results. No post-college, pre-50 female runners stuck around for awards, so Sam got one of the prizes. Have fun with your free fitness consultation, bud. Our BU friend Jessica 08 thanks for the pictures! It is freezing, but we are happy =) The Boston Marathon is going DOWN.
