2 miles to warm up, dropped off Naomi to the babysitter.  

Got to the 5k and wondered how crazy this event would be because it was a random race put together by random base leadership.  They wanted us to start running at 7:35 and stop at approximately 7:46 (during the race) for a moment of silence to remember 9/11.  

Started out and the course went down hill, I was moving quickly out, but I knew there wouldn't be much downhill to have anyway.  We headed out toward the poop pond.  Stopped for the minute of silence.  It was interesting because I looked behind me at about 100 runners stopped.  It was silent and I watched a T-6 fly across the sky.  It was one of the cooler races I have done.  I thought this idea was going to be a fail, but it was a win, it was pretty cool.  After a minute (I stopped my watch), we were off again.  

Ran down a small hill and turned around.  Two men passed me, I was pissed (not really).  Then we ran past the BX and had to go up another huge hill, down and around, back up another hill.  I was DYING by 2.75 and I just wanted to cry.  It was SUPER humid and I just wanted to cry.  Kept going and I did stop my watch at 3.10, because I wanted an official 5k time trial.  Ran in and I was 4th overall. (Yes, I passed the two men back!)  David won (of course) with a 17:11.  I was happy for him.  I thought that for sure I would have been closer to 20.  For the life of me, I struggle badly with 5ks.  I want sub 20 so bad!  Oh well.

Cool down and run back to get Naomi.  I had to completely change because I was soaking.  I did wringe the sweat out of my shirt when we got home, at least a cup of sweat came out of my clothes.  Maybe I should measure that.  Haha.  5 miles after the 5k to make it 10.  Last long run.
