This is a great race if you are ever in the area. First your run and then you and your family can walk around the zoo for free (just paid for the race). There weren't many animals out but it was still nice to be out and walking around after the race. I got 3 side stitches. One on each side and one in the middle. They were all up in my diaphragm. My friend and I are both out of running shape so it worked out. We did well for the first 2 miles and ran walked the rest. I was getting some speed thought when I was running. My legs are ready! |
