It was a pretty fun race.  I&#8217;m still not a fan of running.  I only do it because it is my weakest event in triathlons.  And the only way that I will continue to run is to sign up for 5Ks.  Since my usual run now is 3 miles, a 5K is right up my alley.  The race was a benefit for a lot of inner city ministries, one of them being <a href=\"http:\/\/www.younglife.org\/\" title=\"Young Life\" target=\"_blank\">Young Life<\/a>.  A friend of mine, AJ Green, is the Area Director of the Little Rock Young Life and he told me about this race and I thought it would be a lot of fun.  And boy was it!  I have to say that I am growing tired of running in Little Rock though. Too many dang hills.  I even posted my fastest 5K time:  27:19.  That may not be fast for a lot of you folks out there, but for a fat guy like me, that&#8217;s moving pretty quick.  Which brings me to another neat thing about the race:  they had a restaurant cater breakfast after the race.  How awesome is that?  You run 3.1 miles and then get in line for eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy and fruit.  That&#8217;s my kind of race!!!  All in all, it was a lot of fun and I finished 211 out of 656 in the guys category and 22 out of 46 in the Men&#8217;s 30-34 age group.  Can&#8217;t wait to do it again next year!  Coming up is a 5K in Beebe and a couple in Searcy before my first tri in June.   I always wanted to run a 5K, but I never thought I would make it a weekly habit.  Crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I still haven&#8217;t written my post about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apologetix.com\/index.php\" title=\"ApologetiX\" target=\"_blank\">ApologetiX<\/a> concert I went to.  Stay tuned for that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I ran the Bank of the Ozarks &#8211; Run for Their Lives 5K Saturday. It was a pretty fun race.
