The day was gorgeous and perfect weather for racing, especially considering how crummy the weather in Iowa has been lately.
When I originally signed up for this race I thought it was on the 19th of April, but then later found out it was on the 12th. Well I already had a race on the 12th in the morning, so I was bummed. Then I realized this race started at 11 a.m. so I could do both races. Super awesome.
This race was close to my home at the Terry Trueblood Park. A mostly flat course.
This race was my 2nd 5K of the day. I thought I was going to take it easy. However to my surprise I ended up running it faster than my first 5K of the day, guess I was good and warmed up.

| Scott and I before the race. I talked him into this race because it had a 1 mile fun run for the kids and I thought he might like it. Plus they were giving away FREE bike helmets for children under 12. |

Congratulations to both of you. That's pretty sweet - and to think that you ran two in one day was even more remarkable.
