This past weekend a few of us from the HostDime office did the Susan Koman Race for a Cure 5k. It was our second time doing this run at UCF. Last year we had a great time did a casual jog/run and this year we took it a bit seriously. Alex V and myself trained for about 6 weeks, Alex F jumped in a few weeks in. We started off on the treadmill working on pacing and eventually did a few weeks outside at local park. There were a total of 7,565 participants, 545 survivors and 334 race teams.
This was everyones first chipped (timed) race. Alex F ended the race at 25:01 @ #102, my time was 27:38 @ #226, Greg was a second behind me at 27:39 @ #227 and Alex V had a 29:07 @ #347. Not bad out of 1170 chipped runners. Full results here.

We are looking forward to our next 5k and we plan on doing another in Dec and January.
