Dammit Run - August 13, 2011

I haven't run in an event since Big Sur River Run 10k last October. 10 months. I've had a very painful right leg and although I can walk 10 miles whenever I feel like it, I haven't run for fear of making the leg much more painful.

Our friends Hazel and Rob like to run in this event and I thought "Sure, why not. It's only 5 miles.". It's quite short, however it's quite a climb and very steep in parts.

I didn't record my time last year, I said "under 1 hour". I was 53:50 today (on my watch, my official time will be about 30 seconds longer). I'm happy with that.

Hazel got a medal for placing in her division. Well done, Hazel. Good Job!
