Run The Rocks 5k... or ummmm 5 mile?

Today Tyler and I raced the Red Rocks Run The Rocks Charity Race for the American Lung Association. It was supposed to be a 5k, 1/2 down the mountain, and the other half back up the mountain to the stadium. However, the volunteers weren't paying attention at first, and so the first 30 runners or so ran a mile down in the wrong direction! Yup, that meant we had to run an extra mile UP. So, our little 5K turned into a 5 mile. Very painful when you've been running a 5k pace only to find out you have 2 miles to go. Guess the extra miles built our character, as well as the fog, sleet, and freezing cold weather. I'm pretty sure I had slight hypothermia when it was all said and done. Here we are prerace... no postrace pictures were taken. We were dead and freezing! Gotta love the Rockies :)
