2008 Pat’s Run

May 4th, 2008 Permalink

On Saturday, Team Yeah~! ran Pat’s Run, a charity event in the name of Pat Tillman, the ex-football player who became a Ranger and was shot down in friendly fire. We ran it last year and hopefully will continue running it again every year.

I put together a slide show that I will add to the bottom of this post.

Here are the times for Team Yeah~!.

3:34:16 Team Yeah~!                (  42:52)
=============================================
  1   40:52 Michael Lopez                   Team Yeah~!               
  2   41:27 Edson Lansang                   Team Yeah~!               
  3   42:27 Garrett Gonzales                 Team Yeah~!               
  4   43:02 Janene Ayala                     Team Yeah~!               
  5   46:28 Jesus Mejia                     Team Yeah~!               
  6 (  50:53) Kim Nakamoto                     Team Yeah~!               
  7 (  52:46) Molly Gonzales                   Team Yeah~!               
  8 (  56:24) Tawni Gonzales                   Team Yeah~!               
  9 (1:08:36) Diana Kadani                     Team Yeah~!               
10 (1:47:52) Carol Gonzales-Mejia               Team Yeah~!

Mike did the best for our team and he beat his score from last year by two minutes.

Carol’s score was the same as Jesus’s, but for some reason, it didn’t calculate correctly.

Just like last year, I put together a play list that was designed to get me going. I strategically placed Eye Of The Tiger for what I figured would be my time to sprint towards the finish. I should’ve put it about 30 seconds earlier and I might’ve caught the dreaded Eddy Zucko.

1. Stronger – Kanye West
2. Hypnotize – The Notorious B.I.G.
3. Roc Boys (And The Winner Is …) – Jay-Z
4. Because Of You – Ne-Yo
5. Rising Up – The Roots, Wale & Chrisette Michelle
6. I Get Money – (Forbes 1, 2, 3 remix) – 50 Cent, Diddy, Jay-Z
7. 4 Minutes – Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake and Timbaland
8. Exclusive (No Excuses – Bryan Cox uptempo version) – Day26
9. Eye Of The Tiger – Survivor
10. Victory – Puff Daddy & The Family featuring The Notorious B.I.G.

I finished right as Victory was picking up and Biggie had already finished talking about anyone Tyson, Jordan, Jackson, Action. I had three other songs on the play list in case I broke my leg and couldn’t run any longer, but there was no need for them.

My mom said that she was tiring and thinking of walking until Rocky played on her iPod. Jesus’s iPod only had Rocky music on it. And Eddy Zucko finished to This Is My Now by Jordin Sparks.
