Toasted Roll 5K

I ran the Toasted Roll 5K on Saturday, June 13th during Alumni Weekend 2015.  Several of my co-workers ran too!  I bought the new spirit tee to wear and it was too hot.

It was a nice route around campus and I did pretty well. There were some changes to the original route and I think it may have been a little short.

I was disappointed to stop and walk halfway through but picked back up when I was passed by another runner.  She was my pacer as she ran a bit ahead of me.  We finished together after she encouraged me to go on when I tried to stop and walk again.

I was first in my age group and gave her my award (a Miami coffee mug).  I thought I would see her at MiamiFest later however she explained her grandmother died unexpectedly the night before and she and her brother were heading home after the race.

Hope to see her again next year and wish I had a picture with her.
