850

That's the number I wore for the running of my 2nd 5K. It was not an easy venture but it was made bearable by the encouragement of family and friends and the company of some 5K "partners in crime" otherwise known as Megan, Ted and Chris P. I ended up clocking a 9.52 minute mile which was a personal improvement for me on my previous experience but I'd say there's definitely room for improvement on my part. The 5K took place down in Cranston, RI at the annual Gaspee Days event and it was followed by a pretty spectacular parade which the kids and adults really enjoyed. They even served up some Budweiser on tap after the run. How bad can that be? My only regret is that I didn't snap a photo of the runners BEFORE Meg left. We'll get her at the next one!
