Local 5k today, broke out my new shoes - adidas sub-2's for the race, they felt amazing. Body felt pretty sluggish during the warmup, but once I got loose in about mile 2, I felt stronger. Ran the race with my brother who was up from Iowa, goal was to help pace him and work together to see what we could do. Splits were 5:47, 6:01, 5:40, :25 (i definitely kicked hard but prolly not this hard), 17:53 officially. Not a bad effort given that i'm a month into this training cycle. My brother just missed sub-18, but he ran well given the altitude and the fact he's only been up here for a few days, cooled down for 1.4 started to get a migraine :/ 7 miles total. Overall, happy with the effort and happy with my last mile. this is a competitive race and its nice to have a lot of people to run with
