Not much time this weekend for a race report.  So I'll update later.  Barely made it to the start and had to do a packet pick up also so I had no time for a warm up at all.  The kids and I were camping and hurried down for the race and had to leave for Idaho right after so this was kind of squished in, but I needed to get in at least one circuit race and also see if things were holding up at a faster pace than all the trail running lately. 

First mile felt great at 5:03 and I was pretty happy that nothing was hurting.  Good to be back in it!  2nd mile came by at 5:18 and I was realized that there was only one to go!  That happens on the first 5k of the year!  But I was wheezing on the last mile and put in about a 5:44!  Embarrassing..

Fun race but had to immediately run to the car to make it up to the family event so i missed talking to everyone at the finish.  Bummer

First 5K of the year - but you've run like 10 marathons!

Good going - they always hurt, especially when you haven't moved the legs that fast in a while.
