AM Workout - 5x1.5 mi. AT - working hard for 6:30 pace today.  It rained on me for the first hour of the run, which was awesome - 75 degrees and a cooling rain.  We've had some heavy rains recently and it is always interesting to see all the creeks swell.  Mostly did loops around the neighborhood.  14.36 miles total - 1:47:46

We got our entire house moved in about 30 hours.  Returned the Uhaul at 9am this morning and ran on over to the race.  AM Series Race in town: 5k on a very flat fast course.  No expectations since I ahev been really focusing on Long runs and the Ultra Training.  Pretty good for 2 miles at 5:45ish and then fell apart.  Mile 3 was around 6 min. and finished 2nd to a guy I woul crush in any of the previous 4 years of training cycles right now.  (Ran 17:28 last year, which would've been about 30 seconds faster than 1st place guy).  That's been a difficult pill to swallow, but, I chalk it up to all the long runs.  Run over and run back home from race.  About 13 total.
