Long Run - most of new Mill Race Course (no airport).  22 miles - 2:52.  kept it under 8 minute pace, which was a challenge at times.  Overcast and a bit warm.  Sun actually came out for parts of the run.  This area of Indiana had tornados last night.  There's some damage around town, and the usual flooding.

Series 5k Race donwtown:  Got a bit excited to be racing with alittle training under my belt.

5:37, 5:53, 5:59, 15s (short course?)  

Probably could've done better with some control in mile 1.  Dude that won stopped to tie his shoe about half mile in... :)  

jogged slow 6 miles afterward in the rain.
