Good run today. had to get up pretty early, race started at  8 and was a little bit of a drive, noticed I had forgotten my watch, so I stopped at a walmart on the way to get a $10 one so I had something to judge my pace on, race started a little late. My warmup had been good and my pre-race this week had been superb. gun went off and it was just one other guy and me, we talked a little during the race, he was a collegiate runner and a miler, so I knew to beat him, I'd have to run a good race. First split was 5:11, but we both agreed this marker was short, 2nd marker was 10:33, probably still short, he started gapping me at this point, I couldn't cover it, last 1.1 was long--although overall, I think the course was spot on 5k. crossed the line in 17:19, very happy with that pace--nice to get a solid race in and to continue improving my times. 5 and change for the cool down, 10.2 total today, solid overall

Not a great race today--was shooting for a good 10k--they had $50 on a new course record--the previous one was soft--37:53, and i've never raced a 10k slower than that so I assumed I'd have it locked and that it would be a race against whoever else showed up. Turns out the conrad course got me again--I just dont run well here--another guy showed up, I don't know what he ran, but there was no reason I couldnt have caught him--very frustrating to just not have it today, maybe my legs are tired--38:47, time was really irrelevant though, I hit 18:31 in the first 5k, right on pace, then nothing happened the 2nd 5k, just fell apart

Race: Carlisle 4th of July 5k (3.1 Miles) 00:17:14, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1
Easy MilesMarathon Pace MilesThreshold MilesVO2 Max MilesTotal Distance

Carlisle 5k today, been waiting for this one, I would say this was my goal race for this session. I won this race in 2008 and 2009 but was 2nd in my next 2 attempts 2010 and 2011. Been a while since I ran it, but I was finally in shape to put a good performance in, so I wanted to run it. It is also my hometown race and the course I know better than any other I run, so I wanted to win this one bad. Warmup went well, lots of mosquitos though, that was annoying. Otherwise, perfect weather for this time of year--65 degrees and very light winds--

In the first mile, I was running with another kid who looked either in high school or just out of it. First mile was around 5:34, I was right on his tail waiting to make my move, at mile 1, he turned over and said "go ahead"--which was kind of surprising as I was expecting a battle. He then said "are you a Flaws?" I said "yep." with that I took off and threw the hammer down, this is how you win in carlisle, first mile is uphill, so you survive, then you break it open on the downhill + flat 2nd mile. I knew the race was over after my surge here and I executed this move perfectly to secure the lead for good. my 2nd mile was around 5:26 as I was in through 2 miles in around 11:00. Then just hung on for the last 1.1 and crossed the line in 17:14--1st place! Felt great to win this race, time was decent, but my splits (had it set to km splits) were all over the place, 3:26, 3:33, 3:25, 3:45, 3:XX.

Like I said, just very nice to win my hometown 5k--more for pride than anything, got a little trophy but this race is always about much more than that for me.

My 14-year old brother also ran and hit 20:10, a new PR for him--he is headed to 9th grade and I think that time had to impress the varsity xc coach who puts on the 5k. Very proud of him.
