Woke up at 7:40 and within a half hour was on my way with Ann to Concord for the Minuteman Classic 5M race. My history with this race is that I ran it twice before and went off course both times, so it was a major accomplishment to finish without mishap this year. Actually, the race went quite well and I ran 29:56 for what Jonathan's GPS tells me is 4.94 miles -- still the fastest 5 miles I've run in a while, going all the way back to a year ago at the Wellesley 5 miler.
I went out quite at a conservative pace, putting me in 33rd place at a half mile. Picked off people throughout the race, and caught one guy in the final sprint. Legs felt tired but no real pain or discomfort. All in all, a very encouraging effort.
