Disneyland 5K and looking ahead...

Here at Disneyland. Ran the Family Fun Run 5k this morning. Finished in 38:05. The Garmin got a little bit stupid and was miscalculating my overall average pace due to traversing through a few tunnels and underpasses causing it to lose its signal. As a result, when I was calculating my projected finish time while en route I figured I had no shot of beating my PR of 36:46. I think I could have made it, or at least come close, had I had accurate information.

The medal is cool and I got a t-shirt to match. The race was a good tune-up for tomorrow's half-marathon. It also reminded me of how narrow the course is while running through California Adventure and Disneyland.

Looking forward to the half-marathon tomorrow, partly because we get to run through Angels Stadium. Last year, the Angels were in town playing a game so we could only run through the parking lot. This year the Angels are on the road. Also, planning to run the race with my wife, side-by-side. A first for the two of us.

The one thing I am not looking forward to though is dealing with a cold. The morning we flew out here I woke up with the feeling of an oncoming cold. It did not seem to effect me this morning on the 5K. But, this evening I am beginning to feel it more. Here's hoping a good night of sleep will get my batteries recharged enough for the 13.1.
