4th July 5K. Legs hammies esp. were tight. forgot to reset and start my watch so did that after the gun while i was running. Only got accurate splits on my second and third miles. second mile was 5:59 (about 15 seconds slower than last year). I had a highschool kid right on my shoulder so i kept testing him the first few miles then once we hit 2 miles i just dropped the hammer and ran a 5:07 and won running away. ended bettering my my last years time by about 8 seconds. The race starts and stops at the same place so it is a very fair course Ran 10 more in the afternoon heat at 7:30 pace. lots of up and down hills.
