I got up early this morning and drove to Bellville to run the Mindy Moses 5K for the 6th straight year. Nice town and good race. Always get to see some good running friends there. The course is hilly and some of the streets are pretty rough. My goal was to stay upright and not open the entry point for my procedure on Wednesday. Still feel weak, but I managed to finish. Slow 57:17 (4th in the 65 and older age group).
