the most logical thing to do after not doing any running in months, not since this race in fact?
why, wake up at 5:30 am to do a 5k, of course.

and then drink free beer.
lots of beer.

easy peasy.

[the expo the day before the race, taking on a bear: 6:15 am, amanda and heidi wide awake, bethany barely functioning: waiting for the race to start, also waaaaay too early in the morning: after our 5k, watching the runners come in on the 15k, beers in hand: all the runners: ben cashing in: free beer makes us smile: hooray brewery!: living it up, utica style. all photos by amanda and shamelessly stolen off her picasa site]
