Hollywood Heights 5K (#6)

After a couple of weeks off to settle in with my new baby boy, Brady, it was back to the 40 5K quest yesterday at the Hollywood Heights 5K in Dallas.  I was really impressed with this event - it wasn't too big, it was a good route with a little bit of a climb the first mile and then a little bit downhill towards the end.  After the race there was a live band, Third Shift Amber Beer (my new favorite), pasta salad, and something else I really couldn't identify, but was delicious.  It was a little cool but nothing a good run wouldn't warm up.  This Saturday I have 2 runs coming up so this will no doubt be a challenge considering the fact that it takes me a couple days to recover.  The first run will probably be a walk as I will be doing this one with the whole family, minus Bash.  Taylor, Piper, Campbell, and Brady - 2 strollers and 3 kiddos!!!  The other 5K is the Running Moms Rock 5K in Highland Village where I'll hopefully be able to run that one.

Now, on to the race results:

  • Finished this one just over 30 mins (30:01)
  • Pace was 9:39 
  • I finished 18th out of 27 (40-44 yr olds)
  • Overall I finished 181 (450 runners)
  • And finally, 120th out of 193 men
For some reason whenever I use RunKeeper I always seem to run 3.24 miles but here are the results from that:  Finish time 30:03 at an avg pace of 9:17.  I don't know???

Well then, until next time which will be Saturday as I try to double up - look for a new post soon.  Until then be safe!!
