Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding 5k - Complete!

And we did it! Doesn't 5k sound like a long distance? It's only 3 miles...Mac and I walk 5 when we do our long walk at CW and about 2.5 when we do the short one. But, nonetheless we did it.

The shipyard and their volunteers did a great job on the first attempt at organizing and executing this health initiative for us! Great sponsors, Bojangles had food and drinks on hand, Patty Heath - local State Farm Rep, and the Apprentice School. Everyone got cool t-shirts, goodie bag, etc.

Here's some pics of our O58/Supply Chain Management:

We started at the VASCIC building on the James River at East end of the shipyard


Some of the real runners, Go Jay and Melissa!! We were at the back with the walkers!

A real walker always carries a cup of piping hot coffee!


Jeri and I are doing our patented "West Side Story" dance to the 2 mile marker.

Close to the end, smiles all around!


Wooohooo, Paula going through the Victory Arch...close to the finish line!


As Mac told everyone, only the first 600 participants got these cool medals! (550 people were in the race)

After race Mac and I headed back to Williamsburg and grabbed a cup of coffee at Aroma's


Did a walk through the CW Farmer's Market








Last night we did our mug margs at Green Leafe. Mac tried to stay up for SNL, but he dozed off. It was a rerun, so he didn't miss anything. But MAD tv was really funny, so I watched that then hit the bed.

Mac is making Beer Butt Chicken right now, should be ready about 5pm. (smells good!) Anyway, watching the Red Skins get beat right now and the Cowboys are up next. woohoooo

Hope you all had a great weekend!
