What the heck happened to my post? 

We'll try this again.

I ran the Freedom 5K and it was the most fun race I've ever run.  The race was in honor of the Army/Navy game and so each person had to pick a team- either Army or Navy (as a side note, the Navy bibs were printed in Blue and said Go Navy). 

Much of the course was lined with little American flags, and around the 3-mile mark people were handing out mini flags to the runners so you could carry one to the finish.  Not only was the course beautiful, but it was a little bit road and a little bit trail, so it was intereseting.  The top 100 finishers got a commerative dog tag (if you care, I was 74th overall and 3rd in my age group), and the first "team" with 50 people to finish won the race overall.  In this case, it was Army (yea!).  So everyone with an Army bib gets some cool free stuff- a t-shirt (the race gimme was a knit hat), running socks, pizza, popcorn, coffee, etc.  Nice!
