Beaufort, NC Resolution 5k - 1/1/2019

The family was scheduled to run the Carolina Beach 5k down in Carolina Beach, NC on 12/29/2018 but we decided to bail on the 5k since it took about 2 hours to get there and the weather was finally nice that day.  So we said we would do the Beaufort Resolution 5k instead, it was close, flat, and easy for the whole family.  They finally got their act together and hired runtheeast.com timing company instead of doing it via a chalkboard like they had in previous years.  The race course did not change and was about 1.5 out and back, flat, and windy.  My right hamstring had been giving me issues all month and decided to take it easy on the run.  Zach and Mom decided to run together and Nic wanted to just go out hard and see what happens!  The race provided no real excitement and I ended up running a 25:21/8:06 coming in 6th out of 19 and 19th out of 93 in the race.  Nic, on the other hand, came in 3rd in his age group running a slower than normal run at 27:46.  Mom and Nic took it easy and jogged the race out given most of us were not in shape at all to run hard.    Yes, I was out of shape and slow since I have not been training like I had in the past:
