Race: Flat as a Pancake 5k (3.107 Miles) 00:17:41, Place overall: 1
Total Distance
15.00

4th straight year winning this, BUT I was only first male.

We started out with a pretty good pack of about 4 guys plus Allie. My heart was jumping all over the place. Fortunately, no one wanted to take the lead from me so I just tried to keep it relaxed. After about 1 mile, Allie and I separated from the rest of the field. We hit the turnaround in about 8:10 (for 1.45 miles) and then Allie took the lead. I knew that we were on a good pace so I just tried to stay close. Allie slowly pulled away over the last mile so there wasn't much drama. I ran about 5:37 pace to the turnaround and then 5:43 pace thereafter, which is pretty encouraging.

My legs felt much better during this race than during any previous one, but my heart still refuses to cooperate. This was my fastest 5k since dart challenge last year, but I think I can still go faster.

Whoohoo! Looks like a good day for everyone, James. Faster times are on their way!

How about this for a headline? "Man with a broken heart gets outkicked by his wife"

Nevertheless, 17:47 is a good recovery performance on the way out of trouble.

Seasonal PR is great James. Keep it up.

Good run James - you need another Silverton trip. It worked wonders! Glad to see its coming back for you.

I like that headline, Sasha. :-)

Yay for fastest 5K this year! Good thing you didn't get beat by someone else's lady friend :)
