Running for the Arts



Ah, another tardy race report blog post.

Last Saturday, April 28, I ran the Spring Branch ISD fundraiser Running for the Arts. This 5K, now in its 20th year, was staged out of Memorial City Mall.

The splits:
Mile 1 -- 9:40
Mile 2 -- 9:38
Mile 3 -- 10:31
Last .17 -- 1:44
5K Elapsed Time -- 31:05 (per Garmin Forerunner 110)

Thanks to the large number of students, the first mile had a little extra fun -- there's nothing like being among hundreds of giddy kids that are uninterested in keeping a steady pace or following a tangent. But somehow they managed to not get crushed by me.

The late spring has really been feeling more like early summer, so the best part of the morning had to be the post-run snowcone.
