Really nothing other than the Kid's Dash.

Comments:

I took 3 weeks off prior to the run and I ran in new shoes. Overall with all of the changes and time off, I'm ok with the run time.
What would you do differently?:

Not run in new shoes.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around the Highwood Pumpkin Fest with my family.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Running in new shoes and lack of consistant training.

Event comments:

I really don't want to say that this was unorganized. But it was iffy. It would have been nice if they had age group rankings vice all males/all females. The results took a long time to be posted but overall it was a good run with right at 400 runners combined between the 5k and 10k.
