5 mile road race this morning. Already the 5th race of the year for me. That might be a record in itself this early. Not as fast as I was anticipating but not bad either. 52:24 or about 10:25 per mile. I was going to try for about 10 minute pace but right from the start I got off a bit slow at 10:20 pace. I really lost concentration in the 4th mile with an 11:00 but my last mile was the fastest in 10:13, so really it was poor pacing throughout.
Still, that's the best time I've run on this course in a long while. 3 minutes faster than 2004, 16 seconds faster than 2000. I'd have to go back to 1995 to see a better one. I need to find a couple nice short 5Ks in the next few weeks to get my pacing skills back.
