Pre-race routine:

Event warmup:

Just the walk

Comments:

I have been PTing for the last couple of weeks. My goal for this race was to run 5 minutes and walk 5 minutes. I was hoping that I would be back to normal (ok at least heathy) and was going to do the 10K or 5K for a time test. I manned up and didn't push myself at all. The good news is no pain after the race.

I was able to make this a great training walk/run. My daughter did really well. I got toward the end of the finish line and turned around and headed back to run with her. We finished strong together--until the race announcer said--"Beat your Dad." Then it was game on! She took me a the the photo finish!
What would you do differently?:

Be healthy.
Post race
Warm down:

I walked around and talked to a bunch of people that we knew. I picked up the race bag and headed back with the family.

Event comments:

Great local race. I hope to do it again next year!
