AM: ran my roger williams park route and when i got to the carousel I saw 50-70 people standing at what was obviously a starting line.  Without even stopping, the gun went off and I just went with them.  I kept my pace completely comfortable and won by over a minute lol. Dont know what the time was because there were no mile markers or clocks even at the finish. Felt like it was probably low 7 pace.  Seriously, i didnt speed up for the race portion of this run.    Then they said that since i didnt register it didnt count even though registration was free for this race. So I got a banana and continued my run home.  Probably gonna race 5k for real this afternoon so adding 3 miles onto my 6 mile morning route might have been a bad idea but oh well.  Just running through it.  But it was a good excuse to have a smoothie at breakfast after my run.

 PM: fly like an eagle 5k - got there and saw a bunch of fast people so decided to tempo and did 19:11 lol 6th overall getting beat by a girl (who used to run super well in college).  But it was 80+ degrees with no shade and several hills.  2 miles up and the course again for cooldown makes another 8.2 for some real mileage today.
