Another day, another 5K. I love Sunday afternoon races. They just seem more laid back with no rushing and stress of the morning. I was hopeing to continue my win streak at the 5K distance, but younger and faster Eric Charette decide to jump into the race and cruised to the O/A win in 17:23. He gapped me @ the mile and I wasn't able to make it up. I still came away with the Masters win and got some great food gift certificates as swag. My time improved from yesterday as well. The course was not certified, but those with GPS had it at 3.1 +/-.

My Nike LunaRacers once again gave me a smooth and nicely cushioned ride. After the race the family went on a shopping spree @ Fleet Feet Huntsville where I picked up a pair of Nike Structure Triax 13. I did a short cooldown run in the shoes when we got back to Decatur and really liked the way they felt. The mid sole had just the right amount of stiffeness to combat my slight pronation, it will be a good training shoe.

Kelly placed 2nd in the 10 yr age groupings with a PR of 25:33 and the girls all ran well in the 1 mile fun run. Another great running day for Team Elmore.

Track workout with the Austin Distance track team. We did a ladder of: 200, 400, 600, 800, 800, 600, 400, 200 w/short recovery going up and down but a 5 min recovery btw the 800's. Times-  :31, 1:08, 1:53, 2:40, 2:31, 1:55, 1:12, :31. Two of the boys trounced me in the 200's but I hung with or beat them all in the 600's and 800's. Good needed speed work.
