| 10.5 easy miles from my home with Reed, Chad, and Mike. The "Mother" loop (for those of you familiar with the "Mother," you'll agree it definitely deserves to be capitalized.
Hamstring feels tweaked from Saturday.

| A so-so race for me. Not great, but not bad. Felt decent, but not great. After mile 4, I ran alone the whole time. In retrospect, I should have gone with Fritz and Jason, so I could have worked with them, but I intentionally let them go at mile 4 because the pace didn't feel sustainable. You don't feel like a million bucks for every race. I gave it all I had today, though. And, thankfully, no GI issues today! Sure is a lot more fun to race without that on your mind.
As you can see, I certainly slowed for the last half of the race, but not ridiculously so.
My splits: 5:12, 4:55, 5:07, 4:59, 5:10, 5:15, 5:23, 5:19, 5:29, 5:31, 5:36, 5:28, 5:26, :24 (.1)
I had to take a couple days off this week because of my hamstring. I was nervous how it would feel today. I felt it the last couple miles, but overall I feel it handled it pretty well. As is usual for me, the next day or two will be the true test regarding how the race affected my hamstring.
Great races today by many! Excellent competition. Always fun to hang out with so many fast running friends. Left right after the race so my "warm-down" could be pacing my sons in a local 5k (a race to benefit their school). Pacing my 14-year-old for a 5k was not exactly as slow of a warm-down as I was planning :) (a good thing).
