Lovely cool morning for a race.  I hadn't had the best week on the running front.  I've been suffering with allergies, and legs have felt lifeless.  However, felt good during my warm up, and decided to "go for it" in the first couple of miles, and then see what I had left in the tank.  I was very consistent, and all of my miles were wtihin 5 seconds of each other.  I didn't quite pull off a PR, but I was close, and given all that has happened of late I will take it!

Nice job James. I didn't get a chance to speak to you after the race. I turned around and you had left already. Well, it was cold so not too many people stuck around!
