Today was my ward's annual 5k race. Its a pretty small 5k but we had a decent turnout from our ward and some of the surrounding wards: about 85 runners total. It was pretty fun race but I didn't run a great time:

26:32

It is a very hilly course so I wasn't that disappointed. I forgot how easy it is to get swept up in the early pace (its been a while since I took a 5k somewhat seriously). I ran the first half mile in about 3:25 which is way too fast. I paid for it later. Its too bad that they didn't have a clydesdale or cruiser division because I would have won that easily (including beating a former BYU linebacker from a few years ago).
