Chick fil A 5K: Race Recap

I ran the Chick fil A 5K in downtown Memphis this morning. It was a great race atmosphere with a huge crowd. And the best part...free chicken sandwiches after the race!

The heat was a little brutal this morning, which caught me off guard. And the hill going up Beale St. always gets to me, but I ended up finishing strong. No PR, but not far from it. I also ended up running with a guy I know which made the miles go by quickly, and I ended up pacing him to a big PR!

Stats:
3.1 miles: 26:29
Age group: 5th
Female: 40/1020
Overall: 240/2066
