Traditional Murray 5K for the fourth of July. I've run the race 7 or 8 times now, so it is a great gauge of my fitness. I'm little bummed on the short course, but not much I can do about it except run a little extra down the chute! Started the race behind Sasha and Dennis. After a mile, I went with Sasha and another younger runner. Sasha put a little distance on my at the end of mile 2, but I was making up ground the last 1/2 mile of the race. Finished 2nd Master, a few steps behind Sasha--I'm not sure how I was 8-9 seconds back of his time since I was close to him at the finish.
Highlight of the day was my 7-year old's first 5K in 26 minutes!
