waited to run until after work cause my wife wasn't supposed to work tonight. -- But she had to stay a little late and I missed the running club run.  So I ran in the dark by myself.  It was ok.  It is hard to maintain a good pace in the dark on sidewalks..

This is the first time I raced the 5 mile at this race (there are 5/10/15 mile options) in several years.  I made it to the start with exactly 5 seconds to spare.  Luckily I had parked 2 miles from the start, so I have a decent warmup, although I didn't get any strides in.  

I started out fine and felt pretty good as the race went along.  Unfortunately I quickly found myself running all alone.  Three guys were about 2-5 seconds per mile faster than me and didn't think I could latch on to one of them and make it stick.  There is one very long steep uphill at the 2.25 mile mark and then a pair of steeper hills with .75 to go.  I really felt those today.  All in all, it is where I am at this point and I can't expect too much more.  I should have won my AG but my chip didn't work or something so I was left out of the results.  No big deal.  I didn't really want another coffee cup, but it kind of sucks to be totally left out.
