This past Sunday was the 26th Annual Cherry Creek Sneak. It's the largest 5-mile race in the United States, and marks the unofficial start of the Denver "Running Season". This place is fitness crazed! The race route is around and through one of Denver's most "hoyty-toyty" neighborhood shopping districts about 10 blocks from my neighborhood.

This was my first race in over a year. I've been struggling to get over foot injuries (stress fracture and plantar fascitis) that have kept me sidelined from organized runs for too long. My overall pace was about 7:25/mile for a finishing time of 37:09. Good enough for a top 10% overall finish (#296 of 3800).
