Liberty 5K, Winchester, VA

July 4, 2009 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: mid-70s, nice

Comments:
A family tradition continues...Madeleine ran her first 5k (Alice ran with her), Mia took 2nd in the mile (9:00, ran with Rachel); Grace won the 100-yard dash (girls); Alex ran an 8:00 mile; Zach, Matthew, and Sophie ran as well. Wish I would have trained for this one; course is hard but familar now, and a good one. I'm actually pleased with this time because I had to push through by focusing on form and holding pace even though I wasn't quite in shape for sub-7 minutes. Hills caught up to me on mile 3 though.
1-6:42 (mostly downhill)
2-6:59 (initially flat, hill at end)
3-7:34 (two or three hills, tough)
.1-:38
