Not a good race today and doubly disappointing because I had high expectations. I was hoping to run about one minute faster.

Splits were 6:17, 6:46, 6:59 and 46 seconds for the point one. Oh well, I guess they can't all be winners.

Couple things though...consciously or subconsciously, I've made 5ks the focus of my racing. If I'm going to continue with that I should probably throw some striders and faster running into my training every now and then. Also more running across earthly terrain and less treadmill running. 

PM: Walked 6 miles.
