Easy progression after work. Legs were better than I thought.

First 5K of the year at Cabot. Hadn't run the course before; basically a lollipop out and back with some undulations. it was 40ish and windy, but not bad. Sun finally popped out late in the race. I was able to maintain the pace from last week's 2-miler for a 5K, more or less. Now just stretch that to 26.2... Not a great race but an improvement, I think,.
