5K Run for the Kids

5K Run for the Kids, May 15, 2010, Port Neches, TX

3.1 Miles, 25:33, 8:14/mile pace,

This was a nice race, benefitting the Children's Miracle Network. Only two weeks after my recent marathon, it gave me an idea of the state of my recovery.  I really had hoped to run it at an 8-minute pace or less, but I'll take an 8:14. I ran the first mile at 7:41, the second at 8:07, but the humidity caught up with me in the last mile. This run still beats my existing 5K race PR by just over a minute. It was cloudy enough to keep the temperature around 70F, but thunderstorms came through in the early morning hours, bringing pretty high humidity.
