And we're on our way...
|
Ah, the GPS. Chandra's favorite navigational device!
|
|
Start of the race. Can you see me in the crowd???
|
This looks VERY crowded. However, the people on the right are running in a different direction.
|
We did it! 13.1 miles in 2 hours 22 minutes! And we ended up in the upper 9k's... so we were haulin'!!! 10.46/mile was our average pace.
|
Man, I was sore...
|
Inside the Saucer.
|
|
This is all I wanted to do... just prop the feet up! My feet and knees were killing me.
|
This was a fun waitress we met downtown at Big River Brewhouse - great steaks!
|
Opryland Resort river...
|
|
Boat...
|
|
This is the waterfall.
|
|
|
|
|
This is where they have the weddings.
|
|
|
Sitting at The Stage drinking some beers and listening to good music. Hey, that sure is a big guitar back there...
|
And we decided to drink beers we'd never really order since we were at The Stage.
|
|
|
|
Jason showing his pearly whites...
|
At the Expo in the Nashville Convention Center.
|
|
At this point, we are about 21 thousand people back. The race started at Vanderbilt University.
|
Running back into the city.
|
Ok, this is Friday still. Walking around 2nd Street. Little did we know we "almost" got involved in a shooting. (Sunday night we walked past a crazy crowd of teens - 15 minutes later 4 people were shot)
|
REWARD! The Flying Saucer in Nashville!
|
First beer of the month... and of course, celebrating our accomplishment!
|
Watching the NFL draft...
|
I met Zaheed in September at a conference in Atlanta. He works for PRU in Dallas, and got his saucer on the wall (200 beers) in 1 year!
|
Walking to the Opryland Resort.
|
|
|
|
|
That gazebo bar turns. We would have gone there, but it was a bit hot.
|
At the Jack Daniels Saloon.
|
|
|
|
FOR ONCE... Jason was right on directions.
|
|
We ran across that bridge to end up at LP field...
|
|
Rippy's BBQ.
|
Apparently people think I hold the cue weird...
|
They were mad because I kept beating them at pool. Seriously... they sucked. :-)
|
|
Birmingham, AL. Waiting to leave for Nashville.
|
Jason, Paul, and Chandra. It's about 55 degrees.
|
Where we'll end up after the race - LP Field.
|
More runners.
|
We had to run around this thing...
|
|
Outside the Saucer.
|
1 minute later...
|
Chandra crackin' up...
|
|
|
|
|
|
You walk under a waterfall and you can take a picture threw this hole.
|
|
Jack
|
|
|
2 dorks.
|
... and Chandra was WRONG! SO... VERY... WRONG!!!
|
|
Ok, so the shooting was between the red building and the white building. We parked across from the red building.
|
Surprisingly, this was pretty good. I chose it because it was my favorite in high school (sorry Mom).
|
The Stage is a legendary bar where a lot of famous people have played.
|
I have no comment...
|
And you say I hold the cue strangely???
