I finished the race. More details later, but now I ice my knees and get ready to grill out. Happy Memorial Day everyone, especially the troops.

I’m going to run in another 5K on Memorial Day, and I just picked up the race packet. I love free stuff.

Survived the flight. It was a little shaky, but fun.

I’m about to ride in this plane. Kinda scared.

My neighbors had a birthday party with bouncy castles for their kid. Sadly, I was not invited.

5K Done

I finished in 36:50, which at a sub-12 minute mile pace is pretty good for me. This was only my third 5K, and I didn’t train at all for it.

I had two goals for the race: don’t walk, and don’t finish last. I’m happy to report I accomplished both of these. It was kinda fun passing people at the end that had taken off fast at the start of the race.

This was kind of impromptu, but I’m about to run in a 5K. I’ll let you know how it goes. Sidenote: It’s a fundraiser for a preschool, which might explain the kiddy table at registration.
