Scope It Out 5K

Kelly and I rolled out of bed early this morning and ran the Scope It Out 5K down at the Tidal Basin. Not taking into consideration the number of tourists in town for the Cherry Blossom Festival, parking was a mad house. We had to park over 1.5 miles away from the start and had to hoof it to make it to the start on time. It was a lot colder than I thought it would be and pretty windy! We made it to the starting line just as they finished the National Anthem and took our places right as the race started. I acted like a beginner and took off at the beginning and 3/4's of the way through I was suddenly nauseated and had to slow down. I was disappointed with my finish -28:31, but at least it was under 30 minutes. I just have to remember that it was for a great cause and I did it in honor of Pat. So after my 3 hour nap (recovery + the neighbor's party last night didn't help me sleep) I'm headed out for my favorite Sunday afternoon activity, grocery shopping.
