Warm up by running from home to the race start line.
Decided to sign up for one of the several 5ks going on this weekend in the area. There were two almost at the same time at the Snake River Landing, and I lucked out and picked the one with chip timing. It was cool/not cool getting first in this race. There really wasn't anybody to pace myself with, and I probably could've done better with a little more adrenaline. I also don't think this is a legitimate sub-20 5k for me, which is what I was going for. The race distance was probably slightly less than 3 miles. Regardless, I am very impressed with how well organized the event was. I had a good time!
Cooled down in the parking lot after the race. Will try to get some more miles in this afternoon before stake conference.
Did another hour in the afternoon. 7.38 miles. Still a little disappointed in myself for this morning's race. I definitely had it in me to break 20. I need to get down that mental grit to finish strong even if there's nobody right up there with me!
