My life and running and whatever is on my mind at the time.
Race report

I ran a 5K last evening in Clinton NJ.  It was still very hot at race time 6:45, close to 90*, altho not very humid.  Not very happy with my time of 29:10.

The race started in town near the edge of the Spruce Run reservoir.  We ran down that street and looped around into a residential section.  Long slow incline heading up into the residential section and then downhill back to the street where we started.  Up the street and turned left where we started onto one of the reservoir roads.  A race official said 7/10ths of a mile left.  Up hill towards the reservoir to a turnaround and back down.  Past the start again and onto the finish at last!

I took a lot of water during the race.  I think there were 4 or 5 stops.  Drank some and dumped some on me to try to stay cool.  I was telling dh that we should have done Belmar instead.  It would have been longer, but flat and cooler.  Oh well.  Now we need to do another 5K cause this was icky.  Too hot and we haven't been running enough.  Time to get back at it!
