What a great race we did this as a whole family it was so fun to do the activity all as a family this was a personal record for me in the 5k at least since I was 20 years old. I think back in high school I was running 5k in sub 20 min. I don't remember the exact time though. I did run 1 at 19 years old at 21 minutes. That was my goal for this run but I wasn't quite able to make it. I was super happy with this time though. It wa pretty great to finish in 10th as well.

After I finished I jogged back to the family and ran up with the kids to help them finish they were able to finish in 45 minutes it is so great to be able to be active as a family.

Nice morning run just before sunrise. It is getting warmer again which makes it more enjoyable. I was just taking it easy the 2 downhill miles were faster than 8 min/mile. AP: 8:17/mile.

Did a kind of 2 a day run today. I ran to the church and helped clean it then ran most of the way back home until my wife picked me up. The first leg of the run I ran with my neighbor we went at a decent pace nothing too fast felt really good. I guess it was kind of uphill, however I didn't feel like we were going uphill. On the run home I went by myself because his wife came and picked him up. I felt like I had been gone too long and my foot was tightening up. by the she got to me I only had 1.5 miles left so it ended up being just over 11 miles together ~6.5 out (8:32/mile AP) and ~5 back (8:25/mile AP).
