Boy the weather was awesome today - 69 degrees, sunny, and light wind.  I felt ok - a little pain in the foot but it'll be ok.  I guess it is expected after these 20+ long runs.

This morning was a little test 5K, the local school fundraising fun mile and 5K.  The kids ran the mile, they were training after school on Wednesdays for the last few weeks.  So I figure that I'd join the fun. 

I felt pretty good despite not remembering what speed felt like.  There weren't too many fast starters, so I only had a few people to focus on for passing.  I moved into 2nd by 1.5 miles and tried to maintain from there.  I didn't feel like I had mush more to give today, but I guess I'm happy since I haven't worked on any speed over the winter.  It was kind of boring running alone for the last 1/2 of the race.  It was nice to be 2nd, but hard to watch Kristian put the time between me and him, especially in the last mile.  I really wasn't sure how to race anymore.  Next time I'll know better.  The course was pretty hilly and was a bit long so I ended up with just under 6 min per mile.  I guess that isn't bad with the first mile at 5:53 or something.  Not too bad of a fade. 

More importantly, the kids did awesome on their mile race.  Q came in under 15 min and S came in under 10 - about a minute under last year.  I missed S finish but I got to run the last .2 with Q, which was cool.
