Drove over to the track run at Danville this afternoon. Tried to warm up with George, Rose, Joel, Bill and Don and they were leaving me. I'm thinking, this is the warmup and I can't even keep up. Couldn't keep up with them on the track either, but I accomplished the goal of averaging less than an 8:00 mile. Rose almost lapped me, not quite. Joel lapped me on the FOURTH LAP. Sheesh.

Got 5K and 10K splits. The 5 was 24:46. The 10 was 49:42, faster than my last two 10Ks. Then I ran 5.3 laps in the last 10:18, so there was a bit of a kick there. Not much, but I didn't expect much after 26.2 last Sunday.
