After giving Dennae a kiss, I headed torwards the front of the crowd and she went towards the back. This was her longest race. I haven't been training much this month--and I could feel it. I got off to a fast start running. As the race continued to go down Olympic Blvd, I felt like I wasn't running my best race--but I didn't expect it.

At the first mile, I felt very strong as we turned into the residential neighborhood. At about mile 2 I saw Dennae. She was still running but looking pretty tired. During the last mile, my speed was choppy, but I finished strong. As I turned into the parking lot I saw Danette cheering me on and taking photos. As I think about it, this was my first 5K

I would like to add more 5Ks during my training season this year.

I walked back to my wife and we talked a little bit. After a couple of minutes I started to walk the course to catch up to Dennae. About 1/2 a mile into the course, I caught up to her. She was walking. I gave her a shot of CytoMax and we started to run back. We keep a nice 11 minute pace and she finished strong.


Lack of training--my winter vaction!


This race was well run for a local event. It started pretty much on time and was very fun. There were a lot of people at different abilities and it looked like everyone had fun. I would do this race again.
