Day 1

Today is day one of 2017 and day one of marathon training.  Exciting!  I started out day one with a 5 mile race in Forest Park.  We had a nice quiet New Year's Eve at home.  The race was not until 10:00 so we did not have to get up too early.  The race went well.  I finished in 42:27 which was a 8:29 pace.  The temperature was in the low 30s and sunny which is great racing weather.  Did a half mile warm up.  Total 5.5 miles.
