Pilates in the afternoon, 5K in the evening with no watch.

Every time I do this 5k, I momentarily wish that I had trained for it. I did not push too much, and there was not a lot of competition. I did not get passed, and I passed many people throughout the first two miles. The last person I passed was just after the third mile, and I let out some gas right next to the guy. Whoops. But it definitely discouraged him from staying with me. My time was somewhere in the mid 24s.

After I finished, I ran backward along the course so that I could run in with the boys. I found Caleb, gave home my towel, and then waited for Eli, who was, as always, panicking about something. I ran him in t the finish. He almost caught up with Caleb, who walked the end with his friend. I do not know what their times were.

Nice going, especially dissuading the guy from trying to stay with you.

"I momentarily wish that I had trained for it." - I know this feeling.

Good job, and keep racing.
