Did a 5k with the whole family. It was alot of fun and we all did really well. I wanted to break 20 minutes. Unfortunately I have been having some tightness of my hamstrings this week since the tuesday speedwork. It felt really tight at the start but I warmed up and to the end of that I felt better so I decided to go out as fast as I could. I started out with the leading group. I felt pretty good at 6:30 pace over the first mile. I was just behind the leaders. My hamstrings were starting to tighten up after that and despite my lungs feeling great I couldn't push any faster and fell off the 6;30 pace a bit. I stayed pretty steady behind the leaders though. I ended up in 7th place. After I finished I went back around to meat up with the rest of the family. I found the kids first they were able to run pretty much the first 2 miles and were ahead of Juli but then they tired out. I caught back up to themjust after 2 miles and they were walking. we were able to run about 2/3 of the last mile. I took the stroller from Juli and she finished the race really strong. She did great considering she pushed the stroller for the first 2.75 miles. Juli came in 41st((33:41), 5th in her division. Lucy came in 49th (37:24), 4th in her division. Chase finished 50th (37:29), 3rd in his division.
