Apple Butter 5k

It has been a really long time since our last legitimate post. Needless to say "slackers". However, this weekend we decided to tackle the first ever Orrville Apple Butter 5k.

Neither Jessica or myself were preparing for the race hence the bad times. After I finished I had honestly thought I'd be on par for a 22 minute finish and I was surprised my my poor time. Although Jessica was slightly faster than her typical 10minute mile pace.

Overall the race was very well done. There was a DJ providing tunes that could be heard for a good half mile in all directions as well as the Orrville High School pep band at about the 1 mile mark. Then at the water stop there were cheerleaders cheering on the runners as we embarked on a slight climb through suburbia.

Our times are below:

Place Name Finish Pace
===== ===================== ======== =====
73 Adam Beltz 26:23.5 8:30
109 Jessica Hanlon 29:07.6 9:23

Due to the nature of our training, we decided to pump out another 6 miles after the race was over by running the course an additional 2 times. We only made it around  1 more time and then decided to hit up the 1mile course and call it a day.

All in all it was a good time and it gave me an opportunity to put together a new play list for my Zune
