My Stake held it's semi-annual 5K race at 8AM.  The temperature was ideal.  Maybe around 50' with just a slight breeze out of the south.  When I arrived I could see there wouldn't be any competition.  None of the highschool kids or college kids that sometimes come and may beat me.  Nonetheless, I wanted to see what I could do.  I was hoping for a 18:59. 

1st mile (6:00) - Nice on track.  This mile is level.  Nobody even close to me after this mile.

2nd mile (6:20) - This mile has a very steep but short hill in it that you have to go up and then down another street. 

3rd mile (6:16) - I was hoping for under 6:10.  The fact that this is a cheesy race with only about 30-40 people in it didn't help me push the pace.  I let the evil slow down guy in my head speak to loudly.

All in all, I'll take the 19:10, knowing that if I push myself a little more and do a little more speed training that I could go sub 19.

I ran a mile or so before the race and then another easy 7 miles in the afternoon after finishing the yard work.

Not bad Terry with no competition. I think once you get all your blood cells regenerated you should be able to get the sub-19.

You're so fast, Terry, you've scared off all the competition.

Nice job Terry for an "old" man with zero competition. You will get that sub-19.
