Carlsbad 5000

About a week and a half before this Sunday, I slightly over stretched my Achilles. Thus, I was thinking I wasn't going to do very well in this run. And this is my first official run ever.



Since the run was at 11:30, it was fairly hot, about 75 degrees. This mad it a little bit harder since I don't usually run in the mid day...


It turned out fairly well. As you can see from my Nike+ log on the right, I ran the 5k in just under 25 mins! I was just hoping to beat 30 mins, so I am happy with this.

The only bad thing about the run was there was a beer garden afterwards that all runners got 2 free beers at. Well they didn't tell us we had to get our beers before the liquor license ran out at 1pm! We decided to get a bite to eat before the beers... We ended up being the very first people in line to not get thier beers.

Other than that, it was a good day. More photos are over at my FuzzyShot page, link is on the side bar.
