Race: Reading Rocks 5K (3.1 Miles) 00:27:43, Place in age division: 25
Total Distance
3.60

The only reason I ran this "race" was to get a 1/2 day off work next month.  Yes, I can be bribed.  $22.50 for 1/2 day is obviously my going price. 

Ran .5 warm up with just the knee band on.  It was touch & go with the knee, so I put the big knee brace on for the run.  We went slow & easy.  The course was the tough hill course downtown.  Good training, except when my knee hurts :-(

We still managed to pass people and came in under 30 min.  I was woman #25, Wyatt was #24.  No idea about other AG places.  Didn't hang around to find out.  Just wanted to go home and cry myself a river over my silly knee.

Got in a 22 mile bike ride.  8 miles were easy as I rode along side Wyatt as she ran.  The other 14 were good effort.  I think I'll be visiting my bike a little more often for a while.

 

25th out of all the women.  4th in my AG (10 year groupings)

Honestly, not a bad time for having so much trouble with the knee! Glad Wyatt had some company.
