Decided to run a local 5K in support of a high school XC team, Lincoln High. I ran the same race last year, but the storms of last couple days knocked some trees down on the course and rutted out other parts, so they had to re-route and change it up quite a bit. Most significantly, they sent us up over a pedestrian overpass to cross a 4-lane section of roadway - kinda interesting. I figured I was in about 22 minute shape so set a goal of 21:34. Finished in 21:28 - that'll work for now. Went 6:48, 7:04 and 7:12 before the finishing 200 meters on the school track. Nice little run. Travis came out to help tend to the racers and run the trails after the race - brought Cassidy out, so I ran a bit and walked a bit with him while waiting for Trav to do his 80 minutes. |
