Did a 5k this morning.  The race was held in the morning.   The temp was 82 degrees and the humidity was probably just as thick.  I started out good, but withered away slowly.  I lost about three minutes when I stop help hydrate a 12-year old boy that was just about passed out on the side of the road.  I finished the race in less than stellar time, but I finished, and had to wait around for about an hour for the medals.  We thought my running partner came in third in her age group, but actually came in seond since the first place finisher was actually male.

The race was for a good cause (see below)., and one that I was not familar with until today.
