• Comments: Of course, I made Derek go to the awards in the gym. That was great as we got to see the various cub races. Those little kids are so funny to watch. Anyway, I just knew that I was not going to pull an AG award today. These people were just too fast. Well, they got to the 25-29 male AG and first place 16:XX, second place 17:XX, and third place, slow guy in the 19's, Brian Wortham. I was like NO FREAKING WAY. Cool, trophy to go in my training room. Woo-Hoo!!! Set a new PR, went sub 20 (that was the main goal), and 3rd place AG win. I would say it was a successful day. I believe Derek also set a new PR at 22:15.

• Comments: I really like this race, plus the proceeds go toward the high school mission trip to Mexico. I LOVE the icee truck at the finish line - there are 6 different flavors to choose from (although you only need blue raspberry).

• Comments: It was amazing how many people were along the course cheering for a 5K. Tons of volunteers and one drink stop (although I don't drink during a 5K). Great organization for a 5K.
