Ran the 4th year 5k this morning. Wasn't really my best race ever. There were a lot of hills, and after 2 miles I stopped and walked for two minutes. I finished in 30:07. I think I also started out too hard, but it was hard to tell since when the race started it took me about a minute to actually get moving since a lot of people in front of me were just walking. Also, started out pretty cold this morning and they had us standing in the shade until the race started.

I'd like this added to my test category, since I haven't had an absence yet.
