Comments:

Ugh...5Ks hurt. This was a PR for me by 3 seconds though...wasn't expecting that post-IM. The hill hurts a bit, but knowing the course means you know when to push.
What would you do differently?:

Forgot to charge my Garmin, so the batteries died on me...had to do the race old school...
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around for a bit, then went to the church basement for freshly baked sugar cookies and to check out the results.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Only running 2x since IMFL, no speedwork in the last 2 years...but really, this was a great time!

Event comments:

Good little race...they always have good warm weather giveaways instead of a T-shirt. This year was an embroidered fleece headband. Love this course and the fact that there are tons of spectators since it's right before a parade. Doing this run in the evening with all the Christmas lights out puts you in the holiday mood!

You did great especially with your recovery time after IMFL.  Did you and Eric finish with a smooch  winking smileys

Sounds like a fun run.
