Find balance. Run with my girls. Break 15 in the 5k.
Personal:
Born in 1973 in Southern California.
Ran in high school for Arcadia. They have a famous cross-country team now. In my day, we were famous for dodging our coach during runs.
Over the next 15 years I ran very little, but life was awesome. I lived mostly in Northern California, where I met my wife. We moved back to her native state of Florida in 2005, where I gradually started running more seriously.

Great tempo, looking strong for the upcoming 10k and a good racing year. Impressive mileage! Keep up the strong work representing the "old guys"!

I think you are ready for that 10k PR, Drew. Only a couple seconds slower than current 10k PR through 5 miles. 5:25 is clearly not 10k pace any more!

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the positivity.
Jeff, I'll try to carry the graybeard banner for another month or two, but I'll need a good long nap after that, and I'm counting on you to pick it back up!
Jason - I think I am ready to drop my PR. I do report Garmin miles - so on a certified 5 mile course that was probably more like 5:27 or 5:28. :) But getting there.

You mean you don't believe in Garmins 100% :-)
I keep telling myself I'm going to throw mine away (several of them), but it hasn't happened. I did switch to a Timex for 99% of certified courses though.
