Mini-posts: Riverside Dash 5k

I don't recall if this is the third or fourth time that I have "run" this particular 5k but I still gave it what I could. I got up very early for me (I think it was around 5:30am). It was still dark but there was a very slight hint of light creeping into the sky. I had done zero jogging for the two weeks prior to this but I still laced up my shoes and trekked up to Sanford.

The actual race’s name was the Florida Hospital/CentraCare 5k and is touted as being “one of the fastest and flattest races in Florida". They even had a bell in the event/staging area for when people made a new Personal Record (PR). Today was not my day for breaking my PR.

Here's the sky before the start of the race.

Anyway, I "ran" the race and here are my results.
