Help Greg Fight Cancer 5K

Tonight was the 5K to benefit Greg. Before I got there, I had read that there were 660 people preregistered for the race. That number sounded great, but I don't think anyone was expecting what happened when we go there. The turnout was incredible. They ran out of race numbers at 900 and the lines for on-site registration were so long that the start of the race was delayed for over 30 minutes! When I lined up at the start, I looked back and it was a sea of people as far back as I could see. There had to have been well over 1000 people. That kind of turnout for a race that was put together in less than a month is incredible. The course definitely wasn't flat. The course was two loops. The first half of each loop was down and the second was up. I ran at 20:4x, which is ok, but not that great. My time really wasn't what mattered though, it was the outpouring of support for Greg. He had come straight from chemo and walked over to the race, but he still looked great and was in good spirits. I got to talk to him for a good chunk of time after the race and he was very positive--something that will go a long way in his fight.
