| All geared up and ready to go! |
What did you do this morning? My friend Jamie and I got out of bed at an ungodly hour to took part in the
ZooZilla 5K Gorilla Run Walk at the
Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium. Despite a few cloud and drizzling early on, it ended up being a wonderful day for the 5K. Even better is that this took care of #27 on my list!!!

| Jamie and I just before the walk started. |
Many thanks go out to Jamie for walking with my slow ass, even though she originally wanted to run. The hills were a bit much for my poor calves, but we got through it together. :)
The run started out in the parking lot, around the street, up a big hill, back down part of the hill, into the zoo, around the aquarium, past the bears, past the snack bar, back outside, down the rest of the hill, and back around the parking lot.

| I started getting a little melodramatic. :/ |
 |
| We finished in just under 1 hour. |
We finished in just under one hour. We even decided to jog the last 30 yards or so just so we would make it in under an hour. Though, it was really shorter than that, because we were pretty far back from the start. We didn't want to get in the way of the runners. Though, next year I'd kind of like to run, just so I can get one of those cool gizmos for my shoe to clock my time.

| We even got bananas at the finish line! |
 |
| I finished! Yay! |
