A few male co-workers decided that we should participate in Movember<\/a> this year. \u00a0The basic idea is that you grow a\u00a0moustache\u00a0during the month of November to raise awareness of men’s health issues – specifically prostate cancer. \u00a0I was non-committal and shaved once over the first weekend before embracing it. \u00a0I actually did more of the No-Shave November<\/a>\u00a0thing, except that Christy was adamant that I use one a comb for your beard<\/span><\/a> and that I not have a neck beard!<\/p>\n

The only catch was that the person in charge of our Movember was adamant that to be in the contest you couldn’t have a full beard – just a ‘stache. \u00a0So on the morning of November 30 I had to shave my beard into something more ‘stachy. \u00a0 Here are few pictures:<\/p>\n

Before aka clean shaven:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bearded:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

How did this Moustache not win?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some other shots of the “scary” ‘stache. \u00a0It was also called the Asian looking ‘stache and the No, No, No ‘stache.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now the race… I saw the Moustache Run<\/a>, which was actually quite expensive for a 5k at $45. \u00a0A few days later, Living Social had a coupon for about 1\/2 off. \u00a0I know the money is for a charity, but I still took the coupon which made it a more reasonable price. \u00a0This was an untimed fun run, but it was still a little disorganized at packet pick-up. \u00a0About 600 runners had to fit into a tiny little patio area without any signage demarking A-G and H-Z. \u00a0After we got our bib number – everyone wore 2012 we then had to go to another line to pick up our hat and then yet another line for the post-race beer wristband. \u00a0None of this had signage which created a lot of confusion.<\/p>\n

I had ridden by bike down to the river for the race so after checking in I went back to the bike and waited for closer to start time. \u00a0I didn’t know anyone else running so I just waited around. \u00a0As time approached I dropped off my coat at the bag drop and got in line for the start. \u00a0Check out the Run’s Facebook page<\/a> for some great pictures.<\/p>\n

I went out faster than my current training dictated and pushed the whole thing. \u00a0I didn’t feel super great the whole time as I pushed myself. \u00a0I made sure to cut the straightest line through the curvy West River Road and found people in front of me to try to catch. \u00a0The first mile was 7:20 and was at the top of the Plymouth Bridge, the only real “hill” on the course. \u00a0Mile 2 was in 7:23. \u00a0During the third mile I could see the Stone Arch Bridge the whole time which helped make the mile go faster. \u00a0Mile 3 was 7:13. \u00a0The last 0.1 miles was in 10 seconds… \u00a0Strava said the race was only 3.01 miles long, so who knows… \u00a0Either way I finished in 22:06 which was towards the front of the pack. \u00a0It hurt and I was very surprised when I saw my time.<\/p>\n

After running the Moustache Run I played around a little bit more with the facial hair. \u00a0Just a Moustache:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And a soul patch:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

How should I wear my facial hair?? \u00a0And I probably should throw out a plug for some prostate cancer organization… so go show your support for \u00a0men’s health at Minnesota Prostate Cancer Coalition<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
