Annual Freedom 5K - Fourth of July

We had clear skies and heat for this 5K. It had rained all week and the park was flooded out, so the race was totally on the street. It actually wasn't bad because you were able to see the turnaround and it seemed faster. I had not trained at all this past week because of my tri last Sunday and the rain. When I knew I wouldn't PR, I decided to just have fun and take photos of my running buddies. My dillydallying cost me 3rd place! I was short 40 seconds from placing 3rd for my age group and would have since I spent at least 2 minutes to take pix. I don't regret it all!
