Comments:

I hate running, but I am determined to build my running up to be less of a sucky runner. Just a 5k to keep me motivated in half marathon training. Not even a 1/2 mile into the run a guy passed out a few feet in front of me, so I stopped for a bit to make sure he was OK. A ton of people were already working on him, and 911 was already called. So, I went on. Also, tried out new shoes/new brand. I know, nothing new on race day, but this wasn't really a race to me. 2.5 miles in the bottom of my feet were on fire. Whoops, all well.
What would you do differently?:

Not wear brand new shoes/new brand. Push harder.

Warm down:

Banana, apple and egg nog....mmmmmm, egg nog was yummy!

Event comments:

Just a local 5k. Nothing fancy, plenty basic food after race. Bananas, apples, gatorade, water, coke, egg nog. Nothing fancy.

Nice job on the run - you finished pretty well in the middle of the pack and in upper third of your AG - very nice for someone who doesn't like running!

Great job girl! Especially considering you stopped to make sure that guy was OK! How scary!

I should come do a 5K with you and make you run faster.

BTW- you got more than what I got after my half marathon last weekend... I mean.. you got WATER? WOW! (No really, water was hard to come by!)

Nice run.  You're in the top 1/3 of your AG.  Good job.  Keep at it.  You'll become a better runner.  Running more often (frequency) is the key.  Not necessarily longer runs; just run more often.
