Bonfield Express 5K - 16th 5k
September 24, 2016
Downers Grove, IL
Time: 31:01; Average Pace 9:59
Place: Overall 1623/5229; Div (F40-49) 61/413; Female 545/2748
I just went on their website to find my race photos and the photographer set it up so you have to painfully watch each and every single photo in a slide show format to see your photo. I gave up so I have nothing. Obviously this person is not a runner, or a thoughtful photographer.
This was the race to commemorate my 4 year run-aversary. I hate to travel so far for a 5k but I'm going to run out of options soon so why not?
I lined up with the 9:30 group because I can run pretty fast for three miles. I didn't quite make it at that pace but I was close. I was super mad at myself for not running faster. I even walked for a minute or two. Really? In a 5k? I just completed a friggin' marathon 6 weeks prior what was my issue?
The course was pretty cool. Melanie lives in Downers Grove; over the years I've been there a million times but not down the streets of the course. She was there toward the end of the course. It was pretty cool having someone come out to cheer me on for a 5k!
We got coffee after and walked around DG. It was nice.
