Having Fun at the ie8 Run

The rain didn’t slow down a lot of hardcore runners this morning for the ie8 Run at the Fort.  It had been raining steadily the past few days and it is almost guaranteed that it will be the same weather this morning during the ie8 Run.

 

Arriving at the Fort at past 5AM,  I am glad to see a huge crowd gathered.  A handful of my MS officemates were already there prepping for their run.  I was looking out for Chay,  who is the over-all lead for this fantastic event to wish her good luck.  (congrats Chay!)

 

Tsi and I decided to skip the 8 mile run and just walk the 2 mile race.  I have tried running in the rain during the La Salle and Milo runs and I’m not keen doing that again. 

 

I see a lot of parents with their kids doing the 2-miler.  There was even a funny moment when one little girl refused to walk any step further! We eventually saw the little girl happy and assumed that her mama got her a banana to pacify her.

 

After crossing the finish line,  we stayed long enough to watch officemates, busines partners and friends cross the finish line.  We skipped the raffle draw of the HP Mini-note (wonder who won?) and proceeded to Pancake House for breakfast.

 

Team Microsoft (give or take 4 runners)
