Quick warm up and cool down. splits 6:28 (downhill), 6:47, 6:38. I was winded on my second mile but felt better my last mile.

I had fun running this race today. I felt good and was pleasntly surprised I ran faster then I did last year. They did change the 5k course a little bit to accomodate the 10k course. The start was further back then from last year but all the miles were pretty much the same.  The 5k course ended up being a little longer. I clocked it at 3.29 on my garmin and Angie had 3.24. I only did about 1.5 mile warm up because I was helping out with some of the race stuff. I got into the race and felt nice and relaxed for my first mile. The second mile has a gradual uphill and then a steeper uphill, but I was still feeling ok. The 3rd place girl was about 20 seconds ahead of me the whole race. I couldn't quite make up any ground on her. My AP for the race was 6:32, much better then I thought I could run and faster then my AP from last years race. My mile splits this year: 6:27, 6:41, 6:23, .29 - 1:57. My splits from last year were 6:23, 6:43, 6:44. I ran the last mile much better this year.

I ran from home to the Riverdale parkway. Riley picked me up. I mostly ran under 8 min pace except for the 5th mile when I ran up our steep toll road. Hills kill me now. But glad I got it done.

These miles were done at the National Mall in D.C. Riley and I took a trip this last week. Not much running the rest of the week we did a lot of walking in D.C. and Philadelphia.

Sore legs from not running for awhile. Riley had surgery on his knee Monday and I found some time to go today while my oldest was a preschool and my youngest was sleeping. I wanted to keep it quick so I wasn't away from home to long. That's probably how it will be the rest of the week.

Pushed kids this morning with Katie on the parkway. She actually pushed my two kids while I pushed her one. She was awesome and was making it easier on me. I was still breathing hard but glad I could run with someone this morning.
