5 for the Fifth: My 5K Struggle


This is an idea from State of the Nation UK -- taking five photos and share them with the world on the fifth of the month.  This month is really a double cheat since I am not following this month's theme: blur; but also, I did not even take any of these photos.  They are from last Friday, April 1, at the first of five Crystal City (VA) 5K Fridays in April.  There was a blog posting about it here on April 1.  The first photo is the start, which I am technically in (but not visible), and the second is of me somewhere during the race.  The last three photos are of me at the finish.  I ran this race harder than I intended and I think these photos show I was struggling.  I did finish in under 24 minutes, which is astounding for me.
