5K for Science!

September 21, 2013 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
I ran a 5k for science at the nature museum. There were so many people running along the lake and there were actually other races going on in the same area we were. I think there was a triathlon or at least a half marathon going on. They were offering their runners chips and licorice when I ran past one of their tables.
I decided that the mile markers were messed up on the course because I went through the first one at 6:04 and my last 1.1 miles was 9:15. Definitely wasn't running that fast or slow. I ended up finishing in 22:36 which wasn't too bad since I haven't actually done any speed work at all. I'd like to do another 5k and maybe a 10k this fall but we'll see how running goes once school starts.

There was this guy running in a cut off lab coat with a zinc periodic table box tattoo. I really wanted to ask him why he picked zinc and I almost did when he finished a little after me but then he had headphones in and I got distracted by apples.
