YMCA Corporate Cup 5K
Item 20 - Run 6 2 5K's

Think I've found my new profile pic
I started running races last year, before that I'd always just run against myself. The YMCA Corporate Cup was the first 5K that I'd ever run in, so it has a special place in my heart. I also was in charge of organizing my companies involvement in the Corporate Cup this year, helping to organize it with the YMCA and getting people involved. So it felt a little extra special this year.

As last year, it was well organized and well attended. The race runs a course that's fairly flat and has nice scenery, so it's good for all skill levels. I paced with a co-worker for the most part, but when we were getting close to the end I told him to try to take second if he thought he could. He gave it his all and ended in third, I was in fourth. I'm going to blame my poorer performance on the fact that he's eight years younger than me, but I'm also going to be stepping up my training a bit more. Can't let these whippersnappers get the best of us old fogies.

I promise, that's not a heel-strike. It just kind of looks like it is
