Did the Black Bear 5-k this morning. Goal was 16:30.
Warmed up about 2.2 miles. Legs felt really good.
Started off easy and Erik and some other guy were way out front at mile, they went through under 4:50.
I caught the other guy after the mile and stayed around 5-8 seconds behind Erik through about 2. Then he got a few more seconds on me in last mile. Think he finished in 15:55 and I was 16:08. My fastest 5-k since 2011 or 2012. Not a hard course, but not fast by any means. One week out from the marathon, I'm very happy with that. Ran a much more even race today than I have been. Goes to show I am in way better shape than he 2:37:57 marathon I ran last week. Weather today was just about perfect. Course on my GPS said 3.2 miles, so it was a good 5-k.
3+ cool down and some barefoot strides on fake grass after.
