I ran a 5K this past Sunday 3/9/14.   I did take a few photos of this race.  I wanted to this as my 5K race but it was hard to pass people who walked it.  They did not time us, but I did mostly time me.  I show this was 3.21 miles and took me 34 minutes.  That was a 10 minute 36 second pace.  I only had to use my inhaler once, that time they threw the color on my face.     

 a couple of selfies before the race.   While my clothes were still white and I could breathe.

 After the color was added.  My body was covered.  Both my skin and what I wore.  This was 3. miles

 I went to Crystal's home and she was a real blessing to me.   As I learn, I should have worn my graffiti run shirt for the race, color on that would not have bothered me as much it did on other shirt and shorts I wore.

 All our feet at the end.  You can tell our legs took on much much color.  I did was everything after the race and they still have a little color on them.  

Yes I did wash my shoes and my laces became white again.   These shoes are about done.   I think I will buy insoles and see if I can extend the shoes.   I was hoping to replace them for the summer.   I got these shoes at the beginning of January.   One half, one 5K, and many training runs.   I think I am pushing the mileage that running shoes can handle.  This is the group I ran it with.   I did come in first in our group but then I ran it and most of them walked it.  

I did have to walk some in order to get around others walking.   They did start us off in groups of around 30 every 10 minutes.   I was somewhere near the middle when we started, they were still letting people go after we ended.   It was a good experience, but I doubt I will do another of these anytime soon.  I just like the longer races where it spits the folks who run and those who would walk it.  It is good that I did it, but that short is not my cup of tea.   

Keep watching I am running a half marathon relay tomorrow.  We'll see how that one goes.
