Comments:

On tuesday I pulled a muscle in my left calf. This was the only gift Rickey could afford to get me for my birthday, so there was no way in hell I was missing it. At first, the pain was harsh...but once I started "limping" running...it was bareable. I found it funny that I was limping the whole way, and was still passing people...most of whom looked like they were in better shape than me.

Event comments:

They changed the course this year, and not for the better...On one of the paved trail sections, the walkers and runners are both on a very narrow and it made it difficult...then there is this metal narrow pedestrian tunel...and the bottle neck was terrible. They really need to rethink the course change next year.

I am curious, I did the 5K today, the course seemed long by 1/4 mile or so - or I ran slower, any thoughts?
