Decided yesterday to run the nestle 5k to see where I compared to last year. I was thinking I would run in the 21-22 range so was pleasantly surprised to finish with the time I did. Met McKenzie early for a good 6 miles warmup, running the course. The first mile is a hard one as I was remebering form the year before. Any way I was not sure how much I would be into this. 1-7:00 Trying to stay sub 7 but this has a killer uphill in that hurt my legs and I am just not a fast starter. 2-6:33 Started thinking to myself there is only 2 more miles so I really have to start to work if I want a decent time. Pass a ton of people. 3-6:33 Just glad I was the same. .1-36.85 (5:22 pace) saw the clock and realized I could make it below 21 and sprinted my guts out. I didn't have it on running time so i had no idea. Really happy with this. Cooled down with Mac and Sue on the course backwards. 2137 registered runners, not sure of placing yet.
