I just finished running a 5K in downtown St. Louis, finishing at 26:12. My concern is that there are people running the race who have runners' physiques--they have long legs and they glide like they aren't even touching the ground.  An even bigger concern is that some of the people they allow to enter the race are able to run much faster than me.  For instance, the man that won my age bracket finished in 19 min.  It's not fair that they let people like that enter the race. Even worse, the race was filled with morning people--They walk around annoying owls like me by being chipper at 7am.  I'm going to propose that they begin their next 5K annual race at 10pm, that they screen out all of the larks, and that they ban all of the people who are unfairly fast.
