Today I participated in the Cody's Crew 5K. Cody lost his battle to neuroblastoma in 2009 and his family established Cody's Crew to raise funds for research in the treatment of neuroblastoma.

Since I have not finished my 5K training, I treated this 5K as my week 7 day 1 training and then finished the 5K, running as much as I could. I finished in 49:43 and had a pace of 16:03/mile. I found it hard to get into a rhythm and don't think I ran as much in one stretch as I usually do in my training. I'm not sure what the reason for this is but I have a few thoughts on it. One is that I am used to running on a flat track and the few hills on the 5K track slowed me down. Also, I started out the 5K running the rest of the pack and I definitely think I ran a little faster than I usually do in the first 15 minutes. Overall, though, I'm pleased with my results and I'm determined to continue on with my training. I have 2 weeks left in my training and 4 weeks until my trip to Boston and the Big 5K there.
