Turkey Trot 8k, part of the CR Series in Seymour, IN.  7:30a start time, about 35 degrees.

A good running buddy, Ron Brooks, came up from Louisville to run this morning, so that was cool.  Its become a good core of runner family with this series.  Like somebody said somewhere once, "Running mates is like automatic friends..."  

I ran fairly well today - very even splits - 6:05's almost every mile.  I don't feel like I'm in that great of shape - about 10 lbs over race weight and low mileage.  My left knee is still giving me some trouble, as well. 

Strides before the race to warm up, about .85 after to CD.

I think this is a PR at 8k distance, though it didn't really feel that good :)

4.99 according to Garmin - 30:20

Sounds like a great result for some non-primed racing. Nice going.
