Firefly 5K
Last night, I remember that I had seen someone wearing a Run On t-shirt and remember that someone had said they sold running gear. I was curious, so I checked out their site, which led to looking at the races they had listed for this weekend, which somehow led to me running a race less than 24 hours later.
Huh.
It looked like my kind of run. Cool, dark and relatively flat. And as an added bonus, they give you LED lights to wear!
It really was cool. When the line of runners was all stretched out, there were at least 100 yards of people, all flashing in the dark.
And even better, I redeemed myself for my last race. My chip time was 31:14, slower than my fantasy time somewhere in the 29's, but something I'm totally proud of. I finished 25 our of 62 in my age class, and 147/351 overall. (Results here.)
I'm pretty sure I need to recalibrate my iPod again, although I heard someone say they couldn't guarantee the accuracy of the route. I can't wait til I get some form of GPS. My iPod told me I was done before I could really see the finish line, which was a bit of a letdown.
Now, about that half marathon training...
