Ran the World Catfish Festival 5k that was actually a 5.5k (3.4 miles). The race director told me that it might be a bit long when I registered, but when I saw my time, which was a little slower than it felt like I ran (had it been a true 5k), I decided that the distance might be worth checking, so my Industrious Grandfather (Inimitable Mother's father) and I mapped out the course on the computer, calculating it to be 5.5k. I ran the calculation, and my 18:16 for 5.5k converts to 16:36 for 5k. In any case, it was a fun race, and quite a few people who live along the course told me that they saw me run by the next day in church. (and, of course, for those of you with the burning question in your hearts: yes, i did click my heels at the finish...)
