There were so many people at the race that by the time we got to the starting line some were finishing the race! It was soooo crowded, which I knew it would be, it made it difficult to run. Oh and there were hills, I haven't trained on hills yet so that was new to me. My knee hurt at the beginning but once it was warmed up the pain went away...heel hurts too.

Nothing much, I knew the crowds would be something to deal with and that my time would be affected by the other runners and walkers. I don't have my own timer but I am still in the beginning stages here.

Got seperated from Kristi so I walked around looking for her and went to the car. I was a little sore right after the race so I had to streatch.


Not being prepared for running hills and it was so much warmer in San Diego than No. Nevada.


I do wish they had a seperate place for walkers, like to the right or something. I had a women walking make a sharp right directly in front of me with her stroller and dog on a leash. Then others stop to greet eachother suddenly so I had to stop completely twice! With that said it was a well organized event and the entry fee goes to a great cause, which is what it really was all about for Thanksgiving!
