The Republic May Day 5K
Sandwiched on the 3rd day of the month in between May Day and Cinco de Mayo, the city of Republic today held its 5th Annual May Day 5K. My brother Jason and I were willing participants and he outran me like a wide receiver outruns a slow, fat defensive lineman.
Honestly, after having not run a full competitive 5K (just a little over three miles) since 2000, and not even remotely being in running shape, I still finished it in what I believe to be under 25 minutes and Jason beat me by about a minute or more.
It was fun, and it also kicks off an effort for me in which I will try to run at least three times a week. We’ll see how long that lasts.

Not five miles, but five kilometers. About 3.2 miles. Slow as molasses.

Hm…. Who would have won and run in in about 19:00 if he hadn’t slowed down to run with his brother? Oh- forgot that little detail didn’t we…. lol.

25 minutes isn’t bad. My last 5k was in 40 minutes. God made me short and slow.
