Comments:

I wanted to go sub 40, based on the shape that I am in, I didn't know if I could. But once I got going I pushed hard enough to do that, but I wasn't redlined. Splits:
Mile 1 - 7:32
2 - 7:19
3 - 7:26
4 - 7:15
5 - 7:18
5.15 - 5:41 - sprint to the finish
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really. This was not an A race. Just something to do to get me going this time of year. I didn't want to hurt myself, but wanted to push hard enough to be happy with the time. Plus, they gave a cool shirt.
