Popular Race 5km



Well, again my first time to run with about 5,000 people, 5km.

My objective was to "run" the 5km distance without single stop. I made it!

And I was surprisingly comfortable and relaxed, just enjoying all the scenes throughout the whole process. I saw the fountain surrounded by fresh flowers in the center of the intersection, I saw one couple kissing, I saw one girl wearing very shot skirt in that early morning (and I guess she must be cold), I saw friends taking pics for their running friends, I saw some passengers stopped watching the big group of people running... It occurred to me another 5km jogging I had in May of 2004 with my workshop colleagues, it was our trainer Warden who reminded me that always enjoy the process while fighting for the objective.

My final grade was 34 minutes, ranked 2,500. As you can see from the pic above, of all the boys from left to right, the first was Javier, ranked 2,100, 32 minutes; the 4th one was Alex, ranked higher, 30 minutes. I know there's guy only ran 18 minutes, well, that is totally out of my picture, jajaja...
