Race against Violence 5k

4 m warm up and no strides.  I barely had enough time to tear off my warmups and throw them at the tree.  I was not paying attention to the time, and assumed they would be a bit late.  Nope, they were 2 min early.  3 police men on motorcycles led the whole race, which was cool.  I guess one wasn't enough.

I ran this race last year with Devra.  I have painful memories of this course.  But this year I actually enjoyed the race.  The course is still really hard, but I kept an even pace from the beginning and that made the difference.  I finished first women in 18:09 (9 seconds faster than last year).

Cool down back on the course for 3 m.  They put on a really great event.  There was even Zumba dancing afterwards and great prizes.
