1 mile warm-up and then decided to run 3 miles firm. It took longer than expected in mile one to get the legs moving- I was at a 7:01 pace at .27 miles and then really tried to pick it up. Completed mile 1 in 6:34. Tried to maintain the leg turnover without killing myself in mile 2 and was able to manage a 6:27. Began mile three on an uphill slant and really began to pump the legs. I was surprised at my remaining energy level, so just kept it firm as long as possible to close mile 3 in 6:16. Really satisfied with the effort. Ran another 3 miles home for a total of 7 miles.

Ran 1.25 warm-up and then headed out toward the point. Did 5-miles (7:49,7:48,7:50;7:49;7:47) and then stopped to stretch. Ran back (tired legs) with strong conviction to keep the legs churning and did another 5-miles firm (7:57,7:53,7:47,7:34,6:59). A little deceptive because I stopped a streetlights a couple times and stretched, yet still felt good about the effort. Jogged the last 1.25 for 12.5 total.

Race: Pancakes for Pills 5k (3.1 Miles) 00:20:23, Place overall: 8, Place in age division: 1

Ran a local 5k. I'm certainly not in race shape, yet it was a good jump-start to my system. Started too fast- mile 1 in 6min. Paid for it throughout the rest of the race- mile 2 in 6:40 and saw a 6:57 pace part way through mile three. Still happy to get a strong run in and placed 8th overall, 1st in age division on a fairly challenging course.

Another 6 miles later in the day.
