5 miles - Night Rider (10:00 PM)

Pretty damn dark out tonight.  This was the only time that I could squeeze the running in.  About a half mile in, a possum and I scared the shit out of eachother.... other than that, very uneventful.

GROTON ROAD RACE

Tot-trot: my youngest daughter Paige!

Paige, my youngest daughter was first to run.  She's a very competitive 6 year old who does not like to lose.  I could see the intensity immediately today when she was overly concerned about the other runners encroaching on her start line position.  Paige ran a great race and was hindered by the starting ribbon getting wrapped around her head :(  She was the first girl across the finish nonetheless.  Great race Paige!

2K with my daughter Maggie! - (1.2 miles)

Last year's race, Maggie went out way too fast and fizzled in the middle a bit with a finishing time of 11:22 or so...... this year she kept it more conservative at the start and shaved off a bunch of time finishing with a 10:33!  Way to go Maggie!

5K - 19:08 - 6:10 avg.

I wasn't exactly sure where I was fitness wise before this race, but I'm pleased with the outcome.  I definitely had a tiny bit more in the tank, but the effort was very controlled and even. 

Splits from my Garmin: 6:09, 6:12, 6:08, 4:37 (last .14)
