Sorry I didn't post a race report earlier.
I ran my 5K on Sunday (gave Vic the wrong date). Finished in 38:52 12 sec. shy of a PR. But that doesn't tell the whole story. I had been going back and forth about what strategy to use. I decided to try and run the whole (or nearly whole) thing. I've been working on continuous running but had only worked up to 2 miles before my hip started bothering me. I started out a little bit too fast but fixed that (I thought) I finished my first mile in 12:20. Started the second mile and things were going fairly good. There was a water stop about 1.5 miles in and decided take a short walk break. Started back running and finished the second mile in 12:27. At that point, things fell apart. The course went back out into the sun and I had to switch to a run/walk. Mile 3 was at a 13:27 pace, the first 1/2 of that mile was at a 13:45 pace. So the race ended up with 2 great miles and 1 lousy one. Considering where my training has been without walk breaks it was pretty good.
