Fun times

Today I ran the Run for the Heros 5K.  I work for the Travis Co. Sheriffs Dept so I ran representing them and Rogue.  Since we are in base phase, I took it easy and ran HMGP.  The race was at SouthPark Meadows and in my opinion it was not that great of a course.  Way to many turns.  However, the race was secondary.  I wanted to support the Sheriff's team and APD who put on the race.  The race was won by Allison who works at Rogue.  I ended up 3rd open woman.  The Sheriff was pumped to see one of his people  get an award.  I think I posed for more pictures than Kara Goucher did at Boston!  Actually lots of TCSO people did well over all.  I talked with the Sheriff about the marathons and he actually asked more than once if I ran the whole way.  I'll give him bonus points for knowing how many miles are in a marathon.  He seemed motivated by the performance of his people to step up his training.  Overall good times.   Ended up doing around 5 miles total.
