I loved reading your recap.<br /><br />I run in the Firecracker 5K every year, and it still amazing this 'long distance runner" that I love racing the 5K distance! I was thrilled with how well I did at the 5K this year considering that I've been injured off and on all winter and spring. It was hot, humid, and hilly, but I still ran a strong race.
