My 5-K time on Saturday morning was 41 min, 3 seconds. The event planner did explain that the course itself really was slightly longer than 5K. My husband who didn't run at all , all summer, finished a mere 5 mintues after I did. I can't believe all the people who crossed the finish line, then turned around and ran the other way, to run the course again, in reverse, to make it a 10K. I was not about to be one of those people. I wanted to finish a 5K, and I did.
