PM: really sore and tired from yesterday. A CR Series 5k in Mill Race Park at 3pm was the only way I was going to get in the miles I wanted today. So, at 2pm, off I went in the heat and on some very sore legs. 3.8 miles to the park at about 9:30 pace - its 90 degrees. Hung around a bit and then signed up and lined up with the 300+ Girls on the Run and Thouroughbreds (8-12 year olds) that sometimes double their events with the CR Series. The starts are funny to say the least :) I was in 50th place after 200m... Anyway, this was going to be a jog if my legs didn't loosen up at some point anyway. It was until about 1mile in to the race. Loosened up and got down in to the 5:30 range by the last quarter mile or so. Doused myself with water and grabbed a banana, chatted with some guys, and then shuffled home the long way to get the rest of the miles - 6 miles at like 9:30-10:00 pace.
12.8 miles total - should give me the first 100 mile week (Mon. - Sun.) of the year.
