Brookhaven Rotary Club Lend A Hand 5k
Right Leg: I can't believe that we just ran a race last weekend and now he is draggin' us to another one!
Left Leg: Seriously! But at least this race is just 1/10th of the distance and we've been feeling strong and recovered. Jean Pommier would be proud.
RL: I guess. So, why are we running this again?
LL: The lady decided to run this race with a friend of hers, so why not tag along?
RL: Yeah, twist my arm!
LL: Also a great opportunity to get in a few fast miles.
RL: Yup, we've been doing so many of those slow ones. This should be fun!
LL: We'll see.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RL: I love the anticipation of starting lines. What music did he choose for this race?
LL: You won't believe it, but he's putting on Guns'n'Roses!
RL: Seriously? That's a first. Seems perfect though. So, what's the goal today?
LL: Who knows. Knowing him, he will race this one hard to see what we can still do. Do you think we can get close to the PR?
RL: 18 and change? Doubtful. We haven't been doing any fast miles. Sub-20 would be awesome though. He could be slower though.
LL: Ohhhhh, here we go!
RL: What is this place?
LL: Oglethorpe University.
RL: Why does it look like Medieval Times?
LL: Dunno.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RL: We're going fast...running in the top 5!
LL: Let's see if we can keep it up. This neighborhood is beautiful, by the way.
RL: Definitely a little bit more hilly than I had expected.
LL: That might come back to haunt us.
RL: Or the 50k last weekend. Or the margarita last night. Or the Ben & Jerry's...also last night.
LL: And here we go...I hate lactate build up.
RL: Me too.
LL: Well, we passed the two mile marker in 12:25...let's push it all the way in!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RL: Oh, it says 19:40....GO, GO, GO!
LL: Shut up! What do you think I am doing?
RL: Phew! 19:59...not bad on this course.
LL: Good enough for 6th overall and first in the age group!
RL: Yup...hopefully, he'll let us rest now.
LL: Doubtful...

Ah, I do enjoy some good, clean body part personification.
Nice job! Looks like you still got some speed left after all that endurance work, huh?
Great job on the sub-20. Nothing like a little Guns and Roses at the start! Which song?
