Saturday’s 5k was a good race, but there was a lot of melting ice near the start/finish line, and lots of messy puddles along the course. Flow was generally good because 2 traffic lanes were blocked rather than only one, as in previous years. My tendency after a hiatus from racing is to go out too fast because it feels so good to run. Fortunately I was more disciplined this time, because this was not the race to overdo it, so I tried to go easy and stay safe.
There was even a little bit of coverage on the local news featuring Indiana First Lady Cheri Daniels.
