After sunrise on the Palmer Glacier and hiking in the Gorge, some people would call it a day. But that wouldn't be stupid.
You know what would be stupid? Running a 5K race!
The Twilight Run, to raise money for Tigard-Tualatin schools, started at 7 p.m. at Cook Park behind Tigard High. But before the race, we stocked up on take-and-bake pizzas to eat when all the stupidity was complete:
After a short rest at home, we drove to THS for the start of the race. Rachel and Jonathan joined our little party at the last minute, and the race was already sold out.
My mom took this awesome picture of Brad and me sprinting to the finish line:
The running gang (thanks for this pic, Rachel!):
Tyler took 7th place with a time of 20:26! He's fast. Jeffrey, who ran cross country in college, donned his racing flats and short shorts and ran really fast! He came in ahead of Tyler, but we don't have his official time.
Nick came in at 25:37 - nicely done!
Considering the day we'd already had, I was aiming for 30 minutes. But I finished in 28:38! Brad was a peach and ran right next to me :)

Eryn also ran:
We grabbed our free snacks and chocolate milk and did some stretches outside CE2 before hitting the road for our next stop.
