I'll start with the highlights. Little Cameron ran this race in 22:34 - putting him 124th out of over 500 runners. Pretty cool. Sarah ran another sub 20 5K with a time of 19:58, on 'an off day' I am jealous! Her friend Hailey ran as well clocking a 19:17 and good for third in the 14-19 age group. Anita ran this as well which although her time is not even close to her personal best, it was great that she even ran after some time off and some acupunture to heal her ailing leg.

Julie and Nir also attended with great efforts on their parts including Julie's first shot at the 5K distance and a taste of what it is like to go all out for a short period of time as opposed to a longer easier' paced race. Both hard, just different :)

Nir was the story of the day with a great 10 mile race of 1:12:44 - good signs for his upcoming marathon in 4 weeks.

And for me, it was another almost in the great world of goal setting. For the 2nd straight week, I attempted to run 5K in under 20 minutes. For the 2nd straight week, I ran 5K in 20 minutes and 9 seconds. I am not upset at all really as I know the factors of marathon training are impeding my chances of getting faster at the short distances and as soon as I am able to I will focus on the shorter events and bust the hell out of that 20 minute monkey!
