Prediction 5k

After a marathon of driving to my parents' house in Ft. Lauderdale/Miami, and then to Boca/Delray and back, I managed to get myself out of bed for the Prediction 5k in Sunrise. I didn't realize that our watches would be confiscated (I was wondering what the point was of predicting our times if we all had wrist hardware). Not only did they not let us wear our watches (cheating issues), but they also took away our tunes (safety issues??)!!! I felt so naked. After many years of running without music and getting weird looks, I received a little iPod Nano Shuffle from my parents as a Christmas gift and have been unable to run without it. My legs were heavy and dead from all the driving the day before and all the walking we did in Boca. I knew I wasn't running my predicted 8:50 pace. I thought I would be lucky to break a 10-min mile--super slow for me in a 5k. I actually did 9:22. Not horrible but pretty slow!
