Decided since I didn't race much last year (only 4 races total, two marathons, lake to lake relay, and a 5K) I better try to get out and race more this year, even if I'm not in racing shape.

I figured the half would be a little too far, so I settled on the 5K.

In 2009 I ran 18:09 and in 2008 18:48.  I didn't really know what to expect going in, so I didn't really have any time goals.

1-5:47 Ran the first mile or so with Mike Schramm, we were in 3rd and 4th, two younger kids were about 10 seconds ahead

2-6:12 Mike put a good gap on me here, but I was ok with that.

3-6:10 I was happy with my effort the last mile, considering how much I just wanted to stop.

.1- 28 ?

Overall 18:28 (5:57 average)  Nothing too great to report about this race, but at least this gives me a good starting point and hopefully I can get out and train and race more in 2011.

Someday Dustin I would like to grow up and run like you- lack of training and you are still pumping out a 6:02 average pace! Great effort
