Run for the River 8K
I started this race already intimidated by the other ladies at the starting line, not a good sign.  They were young and looked fast.  And they were!  The winning female time was 29 something.  Once I settled my mind into keeping a steady pace, the race went much better.  It is a flat 8K that doesn't have too many turns.  It runs through downtown Kinston and the surrounding neighborhoods.  Not exactly a pretty run but definitely flat.  8K is an odd distance.  My Garmin read the distance as 5.02, maybe it was confused too.  I was pleased with my time of 32:48, definitely a PR for me.  Kudos go out to Devin for flying through the course in 24 flat!!
