So I ended up being slower than my time last year.  I was hoping to improve but I essentially stayed the same.  Oh well.  On to the next race on Sunday!  Train, train, train...

A Run Through Redlands 5K

So I ran this race last year.  I have been very sick for the past week and a half and I have not been able to train as good as I could.  I got to run with my good friend, Ohm, who ended up finishing better than I did.  I like the race but I know I could have done better.

So I got an email from the photography company that took pictures during the race.  Thousands of photos are up on the site but not one of them has a shot of me.  Maybe I looked so bad running, the photographers were too stunned to snap a picture... Oh well.  I like to think that this blurry photo is me, looking totally awesome as I cross the finish line but I know its not (I wore a turquoise shirt).  Hopefully next time I will get a picture of me running.

So I got my official results.  Turns out, I did fine, much better than my first race - nearly 5 minutes!  I am shooting for under 30 minutes in the next race!

A Run Through Redlands 5K

So I did another race this morning, A Run Through Redlands.  Since our trip to the cabin didn't work out, I woke up at 5:22 AM, ate some breakfast, got dressed and headed out for Redlands.  Traffic is great at 6:00 AM on a Sunday morning!  Of course, I got there with plenty of time to spare as the 5K race was at 7:55 AM.  So I watched the start of the 10K and Half-marathon races and got ready for mine.  There were either more people running or a smaller start area as it took forever for the crowd to get moving.  According to the official time, almost two minutes went by from the starting horn to when I actually passed the start line!  Of course, not even 100 meters in, I stepped awkwardly in a pothole and rolled my ankle.  I kept running and didn't have any pain until the third mile when I noticed I wasn't running very fast.  My Nike+ running thing didn't do a good job of updating my miles so I was unsure of how much more I had to run.  It got too warm in my long sleeve shirt and t-shirt so I need to remember that for the next race in May.
