Great Strides Run

I went over to College Station this morning for the Great Strides 5K on the Texas A&M campus. Robert Duncan was also there from Huntsville. Nice flat course, but it was 3.3 miles, not 5K, according to Robert's GPS. I cannot understand why race directors cannot lay out an accurate course. I am convinced that some do not care; they are more focused on raising money for their cause than worrying about what runners expect. In any case, I ran the course in 34:30. Yes, I kept my own time.
