The air was thick, but it was nice and cool!  It had been raining all day, which is the 1st all day rain we've had in over 3 months.  My legs felt strong, but my breathing was more labored than I care to admit.

Dressed as the chicken again for the chicken challenge.  Beat the chicken and win free registration for next year.  The plan was to let 5 beat me like every year.  The race started out so slow as I sat back for the 1st 1/2 mile.  When I noticed no one was going to work for the free registration I decided to take it to the front and push the pace.  Came through the 1st mile in 5:25 and opened up a wide gap.  Good thing I surged to the front.  The lead biker (my wife Jen) took a wrong turn.  The 2nd mile is all down hill so I was chatting with my wife and cruised through at 5:33 pace.  I took a look back and noticed I increased my gap, so I decided to just maintain pace and not push the last mile.  After all this race wasn't for me to PR, it was just to promote a little fun.  Jen and I reasoned I should finish through 3 miles and wait for the 5th runner.  So I stopped at 3 miles and cheered on the competition.  When the 5th runner came up I ran along the 5th place runner and pushed him in for a free registration next year.

After the 5K I ran with the kids in the mile fun run race and cheered them on along the way.  It was a very nice cool sunny day.  Many people ran PR's and our registration was up from last year so we raised a good amount of money.  

Avg pace 5:33 for the 3 mile
