I made it back for another attempt with the Suffield Park & Recreation 5Km X-Country run at Bruce Park.

Positives:

• Wonderfully friendly race organizers - and very positive as well.
• Inexpensive Entry and Low Key.
• Supports a great cause, Suffield Community Aid.
• I finished again.
• Competed at a faster time than week 1.

Negatives:

• The left calf-muscle felt better than last week, but is still not exactly right.
• I pulled my right hamstring a bit early in the race, which prevented me from using large strides.
• The race felt a little better than last week, but by the end I still felt as though I was dying.

I hope to return again next Tuesday, as long as the calf-muscle and hamstring allow it.  27:32 was the finish time.  I'll take it.
