Another 5K

Under absolutely ideal conditions (perfect weather - sunny and temperate, and a magnificent course, uphill in the first half, then flat for a while, and then downhill to the finish), I ran another 5K (3.1 mile) race today - my third one of the year (following June 3 and July 4) - and punched a nice hole in my old Personal Record for a 5K (34:52 on July 4), finishing in 33:02. It was a great experience, but I found one thing curious. An emotion I felt was mild envy at friends running together who could talk to one another. (Grin) This race was named the Big House Big Heart, so named because it ended at Michigan Stadium, home of the Wolverines, which is affectionately known nationwide as the Big House (a nickname bestowed on it by legendary and renowned ABC telecaster Keith Jackson) for its massive seating capacity (well over 100,000 - the largest in America). We runners ran through the tunnel which the football team uses, to emerge onto the field, and then finished by crossing the 50-yard line, while being shown on the Jumbotron scoreboard.
