AM- Ran slow 3-miles in antipation of a 5k later in the day.

PM- Ran a "5k" in 19:07. I'm pretty sure the course was short. My garmin may not be perfect, but according to it my fastest mile was 6:17. The math doesn't add up. Full distance would probably have put me closer to 20 or 20:30. I'll take it though!
