Firecracker 10k Run

Yesterday was our 10K run in Chinatown! Boy, was it brutal. Actually it was more so for me than for Jared. Unfortunately, I haven't been running as much and I underestimated the steep, steep, steep hills the course had. So, I had to walk some of the hills. Oh well! Will hopefully do better next time. It was a beautiful course though, but unfortunately I forgot my camera and didn't take any pictures. All the photos you see I've stolen from my sister Nita. She, her hubby and bunch of her friends ran the race as well, in honor of her 27th birthday, which happened to fall on that day. Nowadays, at least in the Mente Family her birthday gets over looked, since it's Naomi's birthday is 3days later. =)  And after the race, we all had a yummy breakfast/lunch at a dimsim restaurant. Now on to the photos:

 
Race T-shirt, they don't look to bad. Just wished it was a dry-fit shirt.

Like I said, we had a some great views along the way. 
Downtown L.A. 
No smog, since it rained the day before.

Think Blue, that should give it away!


 
If not, I'm sure this will help =)

 
 Last but not least, we did manage to get a photo together of our First Race.
