The Resolution 5k was held on Thursday, January 30th at 5pm. 19 people came out get their exercise running and walking the traditional 5k road route around base. It was pretty warm for a January evening but who can complain when its in the negatives in other places!
I started after everyone else. Although Kate volunteered to start the time, I realize that I also needed to grab my water bottle. It was kind of nice to be in the back and be able to start picking off the runners ahead of me. I had passed everyone but Shawn, Juan, and Courtney by the first small loop. After the first loop, it was Juan, Shawn, Courtney and then me. I kept Courtney in my sights and slowly crept up behind her. When I finally passed her, she stayed right on my tail, not letting me slack at all. I tried to catch Juan, who Shawn had managed to pass, but just didn't have enough oomph left. I was pretty pleased with my time, considering the last 3 months of training was toward a long and slow race. Plus I've had a pretty easy month so that I could recover.
The results:
Shawn Trent 24:00
Juan Puente 24:48
Carolyn Forbes 25:12
Courtney Dabronzo 25:32
Reuben Amarh 27:00
