Baltimore running festival 5K
October 6, 2010 Baltimore running festival 5K.
This was my first running event. Thought I'd try it out and ended up really enjoying myself. The course was around downtown Baltimore near University of Maryland Hospital and Lexington Market. Not terribly hilly but some gradually climbs. I started put near the middle of the group. There were so many people it was hard to get started. As we headed up Paca Street I heard a familiar voice yelling, "get off the sidewalks! We've got kids up here!" So I turned around and ran back to Bob. He was detailed as a police officer to provide security for the runners. Tapped him on the back then headed back out. It was only 60 degrees so, couldn't feel my hands for the first 2 miles. Once I got warmed up just found a good pace and finished up at 28:57, 28th out of 275 women 35-39, and 724 overall out of around 3000. Definitely gonna do more running events to complement the biking!
