Weekend Training / Races etc
I did a 5k for the local Alzheimer Family Services group this morning. It was pretty small but I love the courses that go through our downtown area. There were a couple of minor inconvenience type issues... the hydration station was off course and bottled water. I just skipped it since it was pretty cool. Also, the course was the same one my employer used for our 5k back in May - the turn around for the certified 5k is in front of a little park with a huge fountain... this course had you go around the park which made it 3.27 miles.
Regardless - I finished in 36:44 which, taking the extra distance into account, would have beaten my PR of 36:06. I even ran the whole first mile - 10:53. Woot! After I finished I walked back a 1/2 mile and walked in with my friend.

Closest I got in was about a mile run, but a great deal of walking & hiking thru the weekend. We were on vacation in Costa Rica so eating & training got tossed out the window... I did find a muddy soccer field to run a couple laps on though, and even posted photos to prove I ran!
