5/20/01 Capital City 5 miler

Last year I ran the marathon, this year it is the 5 mile race. I have gotten faster but have not done any long runs. Foot has been bothering me (plantar faciitis). Nice to see my neighbor Kim here. Learn that the course is not five miles. It will be short. That is frustrating.
Start - Different start and finish from the marathon. It feels like a really separate event.
Finish - Ran well. Very happy to get a very nice award. But not happy with a time and distance that can not be compared to a true 5 mile race. Would I have set a PR? We will never know.
