 Run
Comments: Fun run - not competitive, but needed practice. A bit crowded at beginning so pace was slower then. Nearly collided with kid that suddenly stopped. Lots of strollers, packs of runners. 2 water stations, I took h2o at second one. Tried to go faster last 1/2 mile but went too soon so next time know to wait til last 1/4 mile to put on more gas. What would you do differently?: Get more to front of pack to start, save gas for last push.  Post race
Warm down: Was happy with time - fast for me! :) So grateful to have my mom as my cheerleader! She wanted to go to see me run and to learn how these things are orchestrated. She was impressed that I passed people and also at the varied array of peeps in the race - young, old, etc... What limited your ability to perform faster: pushed too soon at end. Event comments: Would love to see both a 5k and 10k at this race. Can't beat it for a fun way to celebrate Turkey Day! Last updated: 2007-11-09 12:00 AM

Up at 610 am, a slice of orange, coffee, diet Pepsi. Stretched a bit. Drove over to pick up my mom at 635 and drove to venue.
No warm up, just dropped off food donation, found bathroom and waited in line. Then went to find start location. A bit of confusion of direction, start area but then moved toward back of pack to start. Watched the kid mile race, listened to Star Spangled Banner played on horn (could not see the musician though) then started.
