Getting Ready for the Cinco de Miler

Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo, an epic drink-fest for us Americans. I'm sure Mexicans are probably offended by the way we've taken a day of historical significance in their country and use it as a reason to drink margaritas by the gallon (we've also done this to St. Patrick's Day, but I doubt the Irish are offended by our drinking). In keeping with the American tradition of debasing other country's holidays, I'm going to be running the Cinco de Miler race tomorrow. It is a 5 mile race that celebrate with Coronas, breakfast burritos, churros, Mariachi bands, and piñatas at the finish line. Oh, and the race medal, it's a bottle opener!
Here's my race packet--YES, that is a pint glass!
I'm so excited! I've even gone one step further for this race than I have for any others. No, not extra training...I bought a costume! I'm going to be so embarrassed wearing this on the train that I might actually drive myself to the starting line.
Moustaches for everyone!!
Miles logged: 8.25
