The "Run For The Hungry" 5k is complete. It wasn't pretty, but I finished with a respectable time of 27:29 - my time posted at the event. Even though the event coordinators asked walkers, people with dogs and people with strollers to start at the back, a lot of them didn't listen, so we started the run slow. Once we got going, it was easy to weave around walkers and dogs, and it never bottle-necked, so there was plenty of room to pass. Most of the stroller folks were speedy. It was kind of hard to breathe, still having a cold and dealing with chest crud. I did what I could and feel good about the run. This event was not chipped.

Pre-race with the crowd
Look! I'm finally wearing Dori's "FIND YOUR HAPPY PACE" shirt! The color actually worked well with my running skirt.

A band at the race playing "Red House." The girl on guitar, about 10 years old, was awesome.
HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

have a happy thanksgiving. good job on the run. it never works to tell the walkers to start in the back. I always thought they should line the strollers and walkers on the left and the runners on the right. That way they wouldn't get that 'back of the bus' attitude.
You look great in your skirt and shirt! Hope your day was great.
Glad the race was good. LOVE the pictures! Hope your Thanksgiving was nice!
Happy Belated! Hope you had a great day! :)
