25th on a 5K and my car not stalling

Yesterday, Halloween was a good day.
The weather was good and my car made it to the city without leaving me stranded. 
(On Saturday it developed a fun new trait of stalling) 

I have always had an odd fear while running a race that I would be last, even when I was fast in high school. This only happened once and it was not a big deal (a few years ago). Started the 5K and I found myself in the upper half of the small race. Was not running super fast (I am guessing much of the city was hungover). 
Finished the 5K a few seconds over 30 minutes. Would not have made the Oxon Hill team but finished 25th out of 62.
Also won a $25 gift certificate which I got a new ankle brace and a pair of socks. 

My car started stalling which is not fun as I would not want the car to stop as I am crossing an intersection. 
I want to get the second or third model year of the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt or Tesla S which means I do not want to buy a new car for at least two more years. 

Watched the first part of game IV of the world series at Fiddlers Green. Some people can be very loud. Need to remember to get ear plugs. 

C Mac drove me to my car which did not stall, sputtered but not stall and the engine light came on but got home safely. Drew and I walked to Celia's to watch the end of the game. 
The game should be a total of three innings. 

Realized I left my phone so I had to go back and I gave the guy $8.
