Thin Mint Sprint

(drumroll)

I have an important announcement to make: My first race video is DONE! It took much longer than I expected, but I've finally managed to finish editing the video from my first race in my 12 races in 12 mos extravaganza. I did a 5k called the Thin Mint Sprint to celebrate the start of Girl Scout Cookie season. I get hungry just thinking about it.  Cookies...yum...Ok I'm back! Here is that video:





I figured I would finish this post by answering some commonly asked questions about the race:

Q: Where did you get the Asians?
A: Asia

Q: But really where did they come from?
A: Korea. 

Q: Did that girl scout really beat you?
A: I don't want to talk about it. 

Q: How long did it take you to finish?
A: 29:57. I was really proud of that time for about two weeks until I was informed that a  5k was only 3.1 miles. For the longest time I thought it was 3.5, which would be a great inprovement on my normal treadmill speed. Tragic.

Q: Do you actually hate Boy Scouts?
A: No. Some of my best friends are boy scouts.

Q: Do you hate Obama?
A: Hate is such a strong word. And he's pretty hot for a president. 

Q: Why did you choose this race?
A: I thought there was a cookie eating contest after. 

Q: What did you do when you found out there wasn't?
A: I had my own. I won. 


Thanks for watching! And reading.....

    great video! i love the girl scout/boy scout capitalism/slave comparison. haha. looking forward to 11 more of these videos.

    By the way, you time is equal to about 9 and a half minute/mile. That's great!

    I totally laughed out loud at your post... too funny! This was my favorite:

    "Q: Why did you choose this race?

    Priceless.

    Your questions & answers made me laugh while drinking water, thereby causing it to go down the wrong pipe, which could've have resulted in my death. But it didn't. Too funny!

    "How am I gonna hear the sounds of people cheering for me as I run through the race, if they don't have noisemakers...to make noise." Hahahahahaah!

    My wife, knowing that I can't eat cookies while I train for my half marathon, bought me a box of the Peanut Butter style Girl Scout cookies. She wanted to see how long I could resist the temptation. I made it for about 33 minutes. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    This was sooo funny! Next time you have a cookie eating contest though, you should make it into a blogger contest, 'cause I'm pretty sure we'd all like to join along.
    Oh, and yeah, Obama is pretty hot for a president.

    Nice video. BTW - I think my 10 yr old did his 5k in 27 mins. That's ok though, I took photos....(and Ryan - the 10 yr old - has been running on an elliptical daily for two years - so he's been practicing)
