First official 5k

I ran my first official 5k this morning. The weather was not bad, a little humid (100%) but not too warm (65), and a slight breeze near the end. My time was 36 minutes or there about, I noticed the time as I crossed the finish line but forgot all the minutia (seconds, hundredths).

There were a lot of people in the run, I would guess a couple hundred. It felt weird running in a huge crowd after spending so much time running alone, but it was also energizing. My run was no different than my usual run, though I had more adrenalin at the start. There were two hills, not big ones thankfully, on the course which were hard on me as my usual runs do not include hills.

It was so humid that my glasses fogged up early in the run and with the mist on the last half mile, I had limited visibility. I have yet to decide if I want to run another, though I did enjoy this one. We will see how I feel in a few days.
