• I planned to  do 13 miles, but the temperature was so favorable I decided to go further. I felt strong and could have kept running. I figured that I'd save some miles for tomorrow.
• I will finish the week about 3 miles shy of targeted goal for the week. It is always a struggle getting back into sync following summer break.

• Great weather, but I kept my pace at a moderate level.
• I have a fun run in the city tomorrow. I don't expect a PR, but I'd like to perform well within my age group. I know this is a challenge when there are 1000's of runners, many of whom just come to walk and dress up.
• Yes. I'll wear a tutu for the fun of it too!

Average Overall Pace: 7:56

Splits:

• Since this was a run/race, nerves always get the best of me. That meant, once again, technology failed me. My mapmyrun tracker did not start recording my pace until the end of mile 1.
• 2 mi - 7:19 / 3 mi - 7:45
• My goal was to just have fun! I wore a tutu, so I was pretty surprised to see that I placed 3rd overall in my age group.
• Perhaps with my next 5K fun run, I should try to win my age group! But, wait! I really do not like 5K races!
