I can back to Logan for the weekend and decided to do the popular Founders day run in Wellsville. There is always a good variation of competition here and I looked forward to being pushed after not training much this summer. In years past I've done the 10K on this course but I didn't think that was a good idea with my current fitness. The 5K started by the sound of a cannon and the mass of runners proceeded to an intersection where a right turn was made. I sat at around 10th or 15th and hanged around that lead pack. I saw my old longtime friend Russell running the race at around this point and talked with him for a bit. He was on the cross country team in high school when I first started and was one of my main motivatiors that helped me train for cross country, fitting that I meet him at a time when I need more motivation to run more.

       The course was mostly flat and I proceeded to catch all the people who started out to fast the first mile, most of them high school kids. It started to rain at some point durring the race but I didn't notice until after I finished when I realized I was completely soaked. I'm content with the time I got but I'm interested to see what I could with more consistent training. I am going to try to start and keep a running now in college and hopefully get back into shape. This race gave me a taste of racing and it has left me hungry for more.
