The weather was just awesome at the start, 72* and sunny and just got better throughout the whole race.

This is David's 2nd 5K and he was looking to break 30 minutes, and mrsbill was also looking to run a fast race today.

Myself, I'm nursing a tight calf, so I manned the camera for the race.

There were 5 bands along the course jamming and keeping the runners motivated, and they were all good.
There was also a band at the post race party jamming it up for the finishers.
Results: mrsbill ended up running her fastest 5K ever after suffering from knee pain,
