Comments:

Kevin wasn't able to register in time, but he ran along side for some of it (I don't really condone it, but I'm not his mom and the company was nice).
It was a bit windy, but I didn't think it fair to draft off Kevin, so we eventually settled in with one other guy. He came to pass, but I was able to hear him coming, ease up for 4-5 second as he approached, and then jump on and stay with him.

The three of us ran together for the next 5 miles. At the very end the 5k and 10k come together... literally. We did a bit of weaving but at least it gives you a final push to make it to the end. I let Kevin and the other guy go with ~.2 to go, but I was really happy with my time, so it wasn't a problem.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Cheered on others and then hung out in the church for awards.

Event comments:

Decent race. Good cause and local. Not much in teh way of post race food, etc.but the rest of it is great

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had weight issues. I remember standing on the scale as a child weighing 60 pounds and feeling fat. My family dealt with stress by eating.
