Ali and I went to The Stay Bridge Suites<\/a><\/strong> (1000 Genesee St.<\/a>) to participate in the Fight Against Violence 5K Run\/Walk<\/a><\/strong>. There was a good turn-out — I guess quite a bit more than the organizers had anticipated. The race headed south along the River Walk through Genesee Valley Park<\/a><\/strong> (Hawthorn Dr.<\/a>) then back through The University of Rochester<\/a><\/strong> (Elmwood Ave. at Intercampus Dr.<\/a>) and finally returning to the hotel. I joked that if it were closer to the heart of the 19th Ward, far fewer white people would have showed up.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Ali ran it in 36:11 and won 2nd place for her age\/gender category out of 6 other runners. There were 6 men in my category but I came in 4th among them with my time of 29:54. It's \"officially\" listed as 9:39\/mile on the PCR Timing<\/a><\/strong> site which surprised me because that's slower than my 9:33 pace at The Medved Lilac 10K and 5K Family Fun Run<\/a><\/strong> [and this time, I think I was the only person running without shoes … people sure seem to like buying those over-the-counter orthopedics]<\/em>. According to USA Track & Field (USATF)<\/a><\/strong>, the course<\/a> is actually 5.20 km or 3.23 miles, so my per-minute time based on that is 9:11.<\/p>\n

I was a little disappointed that the promise of a gift bag from UofR and other post-race items were not available, but I can't fault them too much because the turnout was so high they didn't even have enough shirts for everyone. But you know, it doesn't really matter because we had a great time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
