I ran The Running Of The Bulls 5K on Saturday. My goal was to keep a 10 minute/mile pace, and my official time was 30:32.
It was a very fun, low-key run. The added "motivation" in this race was to stay ahead of runners dressed as bulls and cows. I didn't get passed, though I couldn't catch the two costumed young ladies that started right ahead of me.
Tracy was happy that I wore the new green, white, and black running outfit that she got me for Christmas, but sad that I had to wear my white long-sleeve shirt too. It was a classic spring Silicon Valley race: you freeze until you get to the starting line; suddenly the temperature jumps 10 degrees; it's pleasant during the race; the temperature drops 10 degrees as soon as you cross the finish line and you freeze again. At least it feels that way. Layering is your friend.
After the race I took my boys to Chinatown in SF; Brennen had a class project. After I dropped the boys off and parked, I had to walk uphill to get back to the restaurant where they were filming (and eating). My right glutes and hamstring had stopped working sometime during the drive. I hobbled up the hill and slowly loosened up.
The best news: my foot didn't hurt! I plan to run a 5K a month now.
