Mango Days 5K Run

Waking up at 5:30AM in the morning was painful, especially after 3 hours of karaoke and partying the previous night. But I managed and safely arrived at Ala Moana park for the Mango Days 5K Run. With my #176 bib securely in place, I was ready to beat my 30min time from the last 5K run. During the course, I found myself in an internal race with an asian lady wearing a bright green T-shirt. We continued to pass each other until I got annoyed and decided to run as fast as I could for 2 minutes. I finished at 27min 21sec, placed 11th in my gender/age group, and 122nd place overall (400 total runners). I am very proud of myself for beating my time and the green asian lady :)
