Personal:

Have been active my whole life, but turned my focus to running in 2006 after deciding to run a marathon. I really enjoy the training aspect and staying healthy, but mileage has been on the decline over the past 3 years due to work commitments, so focus has turned away from races and more on just staying fit enough to still enjoy getting out. Moved from Utah to Texas in October 2016 with my wife and 3 month old babe.

Pretty crappy run today. I thought this course would be flat when I signed up, but it definitely was not! I probably could have ran a little less this week to have fresher legs as well. Pretty good workout though and helped me find areas I need to improve on.

2 warm w/ butt-kicks and high-knee skipping w/ a stride between each,

3.10 splits were 5:59, 6:28, 7:01, & :33,

That's a great workout on tired legs...it should make you stronger!

Sorry the race didn't turn out like you'd hoped. Can't PR every time (especially if the course doesn't allow it), although it would be nice, eh?! The good thing with it being a 5k is there's always one around the corner to try again!

Thanks for the support everyone! It's tough when I've had good races over the past couple months and then this. All part of the process.
