I survived another 5K race today. That is a miracle in itself.
Strangely enough, I beat my last 5K race time by more than 3.5 minutes, yet not sure how I really did that because this route was SO much harder than the last. Hard to believe that only 3 wks of training between races made that much difference. Anyway, they also said this course was "flat & fast"...well, I want to know what they were smoking when they made that assessment because it was constant up and down - albeit slight/small hills, but still!! I even felt a WHOLE LOT worse as I finished, like if there hadn't been a few hundred people around, I would have just fallen onto the ground and lay there indefinitely...
Here I am just starting out -hence the smile- I had yet to realize the torture I was about to go through. (click on the pictures to enlarge)
And this one was taken as I approached the finish line, thinking "why did I ever think this was a good idea?"
Here's the proof of my finish time...you can see me in my grey shirt just to the right of the lady.

And all was well in the world again...
