…well, the band that sang that tune didn't actually perform this year at the Run Hit Wonder, but we had some pretty decent bands at the race. Nina Sky, The Aquabats, Joan Jett and finally, Fountains of Wayne… I forget who else played 'cuz those are the only 4 bands I actually saw!
I'll try to post photos of the race, along with short video clips. Time for my regeneration cycle! -_-
Event: Nike Run Hit Wonder 10K
Distance: 6.20 miles (10 Kilometres) – actual: 6.42 miles
Time: 1:12:13

Notes:
No PR here 'cuz I was pacing the 12-minute per mile group — which is supposed to be good because it's my “recovery” run (e.g., recovery after running 12 miles this morning). Boy was I wrong with that recovery part. We actually ran an 11-minute pace most of the time, even dipping to a 10:30 pace! I can normally keep a steady running pace, however, one of the people on our running group (I won't name names…. MIKEY!) pushed us to go faster… Not too bad, though. We got everyone back alive (or should I say, barely alive!)
Overall, an excellent race; I got to see three bands perform, and Joan Jett as well in the end. Because the course was flat, I didn't get any pains on my knees or anything, too.

Notes:
Another good run. Again, I ran on a flat course — which was excellent. I felt a bit tired an hour into the run, so I walked (longer than my walk breaks). I actually have a race tonight. It's just 6.2 miles and I'm pace leading for the 12-minute group, so no biggie.
