Comments:

Had planned on 6 easy miles today but today was the first Orange Runners Club Winter Series 5K which I wanted to run in. I decided I would run an easy mile to warm up, run the 5K, but not too hard, then run 2 easy miles. My usual pace for a 5K is 8:15 to 8:30 so 9 minute pace so not too far off. A lot of fast guys in 40-49; the top 6 were all under 20 minutes, and the winner's time was 16:27.

Apparently there are still some patients at the old Psychiatric center, because I heard someone shouting Lou Gehrig's farewell speech out a window.
