Not a bad race but as the headline states, was short by a little more than 4 tenths. Had I been more in tune and not in the zone, I would have continued running well past the finish to make it to 13.1. Nevertheless, I will run this next year and achieve a faster time and will go the full distance.
Couple other issues were the uphill finish (challenging but doable) and the mixing of the events so close together, 5K/10K leaders passing 1/2 marathon participants and the shorter distance escorts on bikes yelling to get out of the way. I only had to deal with the 10K leader passing me right before the 10K turnaround.
Overall, this event was a good day and great training. 🙂

3rd year in a row running this in 2014. A lot of my memories for this one blur with 2012 and 2013, but once again a nice day, great turnout, start and finish in downtown Davidson, run through a greenway and a few neighborhoods. I think Run for Green has been around since 2006, so one of the classic LKN 5k races.
Good Davidson 5k

My second year running this. If I recall correctly, I started out way too fast, and I think I was 3rd place half a mile in, before dropping like a hundred places. But I took one minute off last year’s time. Again, it starts downtown near the fork in the road by the Flatiron Kitchen & Taphouse. Huge downhill at mile 1, winds into a greenway and then goes into neighborhoods for the last 1.5 miles before finishing downtown again, near beautiful Davidson College. I think the DC women’s lacrosse team ran it this year, and I beat most of them, including 2 or 3 I was neck and neck with down the final stretch. Not much of a flex, but I was proud of myself then.
My first 5k!

This was my first 5k. I battled a lot of side stitches around mile 2 and doubted I could finish, but I kept running. It starts and ends in downtown Davidson, which is scenic. I think there was a mister or two around mile 1.5 this year, as September 15 can still be hot in NC.
