First race in a long time it seems. I didn't worry about pace today just wanted to hit as close to max effort as I could. Hung with Clyde and Justin for a few miles and enjoyed running a pace again just about 5:10. Then I settled into my own thing and traded places a few times with Lindsey as we ran down the canyon. I lost a lot of time in the last three miles of the race but overall really stoked about the run. Good start to getting back into it.
