AFB Mare-a-Thon in Shelbyville, KY: 

0.5 mi. warmup,

Smaller race so I started in the front:

5:46, 6:15, 6:55

3.1 mi. in 19:38

It was about 80 degrees and humid, and rolling terrain.  Was with lead group until turn around (1.5 mi.) couldn't maintain pace - really bombed last 1.1 mi.  Next 5k - I will start at 6:05 and try to maintain that pace.  I got a little distracted by being with the lead group and went out a little fast.  5th overall, 1st in age group

Traveled on down the road to my hometown - Lexington, KY for a wedding.  Tiff and I ran slow 2 mi. together in 20:48 - 10:30 am - already getting hot.  HAd Tiff drop me off over at the new Legacy Trail and set out to run a slow 14 mi.  Turns out I didn't bring nearly enough water and really died at about 11 mi. in.  12.86 mi. in 2:02:27 - started at 8:40s ended up at 10's.  Walked a half mi. and jogged the last 0.6mi.
