I'm finally getting a chance to catch up on my most recent races. The 1st MRTC Road Race Series 5K was actually a couple weeks ago but I didn't get around to posting about it until now.
The 5Ks this year are at Audubon Park near the Cancer Memorial on Perkins. I ran with Staci because it is fun to get out and run with her. We never get a chance to run together during the week so it is a great opportunity for us. Also, we were without the kids for a few days so we could really enjoy each other's company.
The other reason I ran with her is because she was having some foot issues. It was her right foot. So I figured since her right foot was bad and my left knee was bad we could run side by side in case we needed to lean on each other to finish.
Our time was 35:54. Not bad considering she hadn't run outside much leading up to it and she was being really tough dealing with her new ailment. She did have a nice strong finish as we got to the last tenth of a mile.
Here is a picture of us during the race. We are bib numbers 734 and 735.
One funny thing we saw was a woman running with a kitten. She must have picked it up on the route we were running. She would run a few steps, then she would have to walk.
One not-so-funny thing was a dude that as we were coming up on the finish line was yelling "come on ladies lets go!" He was finished running and was cheering people on. He looked like a military guy. I took it a little personal because I was thinking, "I'd smoke your ass if I was running MY pace, so that 'ladies' comment better had not been for me".
Anyway, I should hopefully get this past weekend's race post soon.
