A picture is worth a thousand meters
Since we don't stay up late or drink heavily, my wife and I opted to celebrate the New Year by winning the "Double Dip" team division of the 2008 Resolution Run 5K on January 1st. We received a nice trophy topped with a male and a female running in perfect synchrony.
Our lackluster times (16:12 and 20:36) would have been somewhat faster if not for a slippery hairpin turn just before the finish:
Thanks to Chuck Bartlett and my brother-in-law for the photos.

Congrats! I thought the water was warmer this year than all the other years. Did everyone pee before I got there???
Is Phil gonna smoke the kids' race next year?

The water temperature was 44 degrees Fahrenheit this year, up from 43 last year.
As for Phil, he would have participated in THIS race, but the race director specifically told us, unprompted: "No strollers in Lake Washington!"
