I got to the race location an hour before the race started. I milled around, entered contests, and listened to the breast cancer stories. I almost started crying on multiple occasions so I started my warm-up. It was also nice to get away from the 7000 walkers/runners.

They had a bag check. For a 5k! So fantastic for lonely runners like me :-D Espcially since it rained when I finsihed.

Maybe I only think this because I was towards the front, but the starting line was fantastic. The starting line was bisected - the left was the competitive side and the right was walkers. Such a great idea.

I'm kind of disapointed with my time. I'll just work harder for next time.

 9 minute miles, 63 degrees with a light wind :-D 

The craziness of the last week of the semester has resulted in some low mileage. Emotionally I am so drained, but maybe my legs are getting some rest?

 Yesterday I was at school from 7AM to 10PM. Same goes for tomorrow as well. Oh grad school...
