I ran the 8k route for the Great Ride 'n' Stride cancer fundraiser to finish off my training. (Actually, my slow bike ride home finished me off.) There was a 3.5k route, too, but I figured running 8k today will make my 5k race in two weeks feel like a breeze. I didn't time myself, but I gave it my all.

Great day's exercise.
