Comments:

What a great run! It was my first road race and my first 10k! It was a blast to look at all the costumed runners and the sheer number of people out there together...the first half of the race there was a lot of crowd support lining the parade route, I was taking in the sounds and sights of the city...it was great! I didn't really race...just ran which was cool as it was only my second time doing the distance. Joanne and I found each other at the very end of the race and crossed the finish line together! A perfect ending to a great time!
What would you do differently?:

Pick up our packets the day before so no stress trying to get it the day of. Also, maybe a costume next year! :-)
Post race
Warm down:

walked, found the food and stretched a bit after about 20 minutes

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I would have liked a better nights sleep, but other than that, I wasn't racing so nothing.

Event comments:

Fun Fun Fun!!!! I think this might be a new tradition!
