I ran in the RubyConf 5k and it was a great time! If I had to do it over, I would have eaten something beforehand :/

The weather was great - clear and sunny, cool air. It was great to see so many people in the Ruby community that were into running. There were some that finished in the neighborhood of 17 minutes, some like me who brought up the rear. All in all, the mood was friendly and encouraging.

I hope this is a trend that continues at other conferences!
