Running Accomplishments:

Kinda consistently running since 07 

Short-Term Running Goals:

5k in 18:00; 10k in 40:00

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter.  The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance.  Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.

Personal:

I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.

7:01 pace.  The race was short.  5.9.  I thought about going another .3 to make it 10k, but I just ran until 6.  It was a PR nontheless.  They also started the clock significantly late, by 50 seconds or so.   I'll stick with my garmin time.

The race thinned out pretty quick.  A half mile into it, there was a pack of 3 or 4 who sprinted out (at least sprint by my definintion) and kept sprinting the whole race.  Then there was Curtis and me and another pack that stayed about 100-150m behind.  Curtis had to keep slowing down for me.  I did return the favor at mile 3.  He can't drink and run, so I stopped until he caught up.  I think I may have been able to get sub-7s if it weren't for that.  Maybe not, it was a nice break, and I was able to catch my breath.
