The Susan G. Komen 5K run basically failed.  All the preparation for nothing!  Haha, it’s ok though.  Things that happened or were observed:

• We got there late – thus unable to get to the start where the timed runners were – heck we didn’t even know this existed – poor planning on our part.
• We couldn’t even find the start.
• Because we were late, we were stuck behind thousands of people WALKING – therefore making it impossible to run.
• We didn’t even see anyone with the timed bibs – now we know why.
• We thought about walking the 5K, then going and running a 5K afterwards.
• As we crossed the bridge and looked down at the 163 and saw the people running we realized that that’s where we should have been – oh well.
• Once we got to the fountain which was about 1 mile in we decided to bail the walk and run our own course.
• We ran C’s crazy canyon course – she told me there would be some hills.
• It was the hardest run I’ve done yet – parts were so steep and long that my running turned into the same speed as walking.
• I even had to stop a few times going up those “hills”
• Ran for 31 minutes – probably wasn’t a 5K because of all the hills but man it was hard.
• Susan G. Komen 5K Run FAIL – guess we’ll have to sign up for another.
