Amazing!<br /><br />Michael - I don't wear green because EVERYONE has green on down there and when you are looking for other people, it's easier to find them. See my brother's hat - very easy to find.<br /><br />Ken - Had to race it!! Not surprised about the water and bananas. Not as many runners drink beer.<br /><br />Johann - I never knew that. That really stinks. I guess it would make a garmin especially important then for your real time.<br /><br />Danny - I'm not so sure but thanks for the confidence.<br /><br />Lisa - Yes, the central station. They were going to make it into Police Headquarters but it fell through due to the economy.<br /><br />Funderson - It's kind of slow for me though.<br /><br />Thanks everyone else for your comments. No more 5k's this year except Warrior Dash and I'm not doing that for time - just fun with a friend.Detroit Runner(Jeff)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03340721120260257973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-23980361351163542292011-03-14T17:40:29.170-04:002011-03-14T17:40:29.170-04:00Nice!!
