Ran Murray 5k today.  It’s a 4th of July tradition dating back to the day before our wedding 16 years ago.  I’m still trying to work on my fitness, so I knew it wouldn’t be a stellar effort today.  I wanted to run faster than TVille Dayzz, but this is a much more difficult course.  Warmed up 3 miles plus strides.  Told myself to be somewhat conservative in the 1st uphill mile.  Ran 6:11, 6:02, and then struggled a bit to maintain.  6:24 on the third mile.  Finished in 19:25 to TvilleDayzz 19:20.  Still thought today’s effort was better given the tough course.  Finished fifth overall, 1st masters.  Hoping to break 19 at Draper Days.  We’ll go from there.  Three mile cool down.  Also had a dance rehearsal last night that killed my calves.  Might have been a slight factor today.
