San Diego River Run 5k

This was kinda a last minute idea I had. I have been itching to run another race so I saw this was local and didn't have a eye gouging registration fee so I signed up. I was up early before the fam, downed some tri-phase and got my gear ready, did some light stretching and we were out the door.  It was fun and a fast course right on the riverbed running past my parents backyard. The winner of the race ran it in 16 minutes and it was my god brother Dillon Breen.
I have been taking some extra rest and am just about to get into my 16 week training plan for the AFC but I still did really well. I set a PR for myself beating my previous 5k time by 6 minutes. I ran 24:11 according to my garmin. The clock said 24:04.

Mile 1- 7:52

Its only a 5k so its go out hard and try to hold on. haha I just wanted to keep my pace at about 8:45 for all 3 miles but I did a lot better than that. I guess I still do have SOME of my speed in me. I actually cant wait to test it out again in a few months.

Mile 2- 8:07

I was still holding on good. I saw a girl about my age pass me so I just held on and would not let her go. Then passed her up again in the final half mile. 

Mile 3- 8:14

3 miles is nothing... I may not be the fastest but after training for half marathons I feel like 3 miles is over so fast. I am very happy for a new PR.
