ran 5K with friend today, time 29:17.  excellent!  we are getting ready for the 5K race on Saturday.  first day back after 5 days off running - felt good to be back and felt very well rested on the run.

pretty good for my first 5K.  got in under 30 which was my goal.  very hot sun for first 1/2 and found that a bit tough.  hardly any breeze.  also tough to try to get around all the walkers - not sure why they were in the 25-30 min category!  felt like I could have gone a lot further - but not that much faster.  next race will be a 10K!
