Ran the Race to the Taste downtown. It was pretty sweet. I finished 5th out of like 2000 runners, which was cool, and Emma was the 2nd female finisher and ran a huge PR, which was awesome. I felt pretty good for most of the race. Started off kinda slow cause i totally cooled down after they made us wait on the start line for like 15 minutes and wouldn't let us do any strides or anything, but kept a pretty consistent pace the whole way, and spent most of my time picking off runners instead of being passed by everybody and their mom the second half of the race, which is what usually happens. I feel like I was fit enough to go faster, but i haven't done any speed or interval or tempo stuff in like 2 months, so its all good. I was really happy with my race today at this point in the season. And I got a nasty blister from wearing a new pair of spikes with no socks, but I didn't notice it until after the race was done.

At least some of the mile markers were screwed up, cause my splits were terrible, but supposedly I ran 5:39, 5:09 (10:48), 5:36 (16:24), and 38 (17:03) for the last 200.
