Double Duty on the Booty

6.51 mi.
1:00:13 - 9:16 ppm.

After making sure I didn't have to work, eating and resting for a bit, I returned to Kati's to meet up with Jamaar and company once again. Adrienne and a few others were just finishing up, and I jogged down Selwyn to catch up with Thomas, Michelle, and Jamaar. Our hero was in remarkably good spirits after having run two marathons at this point. We were joined for awhile by Matt Jaskot and Emily Barrett, and ran into David Brinkley near the end.

Thomas had gone to the gas station to get some beer, and so the five of us jogged down the loop while drinking. Yup, that's what happened. The mood was festive and we were all very proud of Jamaar - not to mention impressed and flattered by how many people came out to run with him. In 12 hours (6am-6pm) he ran by himself for less than half an hour. That's impressive. The Charlotte running community is outstanding.

Naturally, we were all in party mode when he was done, and went out to celebrate the achievement...after taking a series of really bad pictures.

I left out the part about the rain. From left: Emily Barrett, Jason Blackwood, Jamaar Valentine, Matt Jaskot, Michelle Hazelton, David Brinkley, Thomas Eggar [photo courtesy of Jamaar Valentine].
