32 degrees and foggy. Pretty nice race conditions. I warmed up by running the course and doing a couple strides. Idea was 5:50, 5:45, 5:40 and 33 scds for last .1. Actual results were 5:51, 5:55, 6:02 and 35 scds for last .1. Cooled down by running the course once more and running to car and bldg.

While the goal is to break 18 minutes, I think this is ok for this time of the year. I saw a few bloggers I recognized and finished just behind Rob Murphy and shook his hand at the end but was too shy to introduce myself or talk to anyone else.

Another 3.9 in 30 minutes at 2 to get my daily miles in. Outdoor Retailer Loop

Now that I know who you are we'll have to chat a little more at the 10k in a couple weeks if you're doing it.

It's good to have goals in any race but it's also good to remember that it's just January and our bodies and minds aren't used to racing. It's just good to get out there on a cold winter morning.

Congrats on the fine race.

Thanks Rob. I will be running the entire series and I look forward to catching up at the next one.

great race and an excellent start, especially if the goal is sub-18. looks like it won't be long until that happens.

Thanks Allie. I hope so.
