So I survived the race. I guess have to pay back all those loans I took out last Friday.
The race went really well. About 8,000 people participated, again making it the 2nd largest 5K and 25K race in America. The 5K part started at 8:10AM and I ran it in about 33 minutes, giving me, on average, 11 minutes 14 seconds / mile. Which isn't the greatest, I ended up somewhere around the 37 percentile, meaning 63% of everyone performing did better than I. However, I'm taking this race a launching point for a series of other races this summer. Mandy, Angie, Chad, Andy and myself are planning to do 5 5K races by the end of the summer. I figure if I keep up with my training and actually do the races I plan to do, I should be able to get to being able to do under a 10 minute mile by the end of the summer and loose some of the profound flab you can easily see on the image below.
You're surrounded! Drop the Enid!

Matt, you aren't upset that I put The Desperate Housewives video game under your GameSpot tracked games list... are you?
That might have something to do with it. That and you pointed out my brown-splotch syndrome.
