Comments:

Warmed up to about 30 degrees and the sun came out, so it was a perfect Winter day to run. Only about 30 seconds slower than my PR which surprised me because I thought I was taking it fairly easy. I've been running well lately, and I felt really good in this race. I think I will try to break 24 minutes in the last race in this series in 4 weeks.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Warm down:

Wanted to total about 5 miles today, so I ran 1 more loop of a mile and a half at a very easy pace.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm slow, don't train enough, and it probably wouldn't hurt to lose a few pounds.

Event comments:

A fun local race to help keep you motivated in the Winter.
