Sunday March 11th, I ran an extremely popular 5K race in Detroit;
The Cork Town 5K. This event is held every year just hours before the annual St. Patrick's Day parade. I believe this years event capped out at over 7600+ runners. That is a lot of people and a lot of green! It was a beautiful day for the race. Warm & Sunny!! I was a little nervous about this race. Not because of my time, I wasn't planning to run hard. But because of the large crowd and the uneven road. Everything went smoothly. No one knocked me over, I saw a fellow blogger/runner friend
Jen running an amazing post injury race and I stayed well below my goal time of 30 minutes. That makes me laugh. Here I was last year trying for a 20 minute 5k and this year I am hoping to just stay under 30 miles.
Official Results:
