Jim and I have run the Chesterfield Gumbo Flats 5K for three years. We like the race because it is close to home and well managed. Jim likes the beer. There is good food afterward. Today they had scrambled eggs, sandwiches, muffins, banana, pizza, lemonade, etc.
My goal was to run at an easy pace and not hurt myself. I averaged 8:32 pace which was faster than I intended but it felt good the whole time. Jim did very well considering he has not run much the last two months.
I am looking forward to hitting the trails. Today's race was a flat course. I have kept my runs flat since the marathon because my quads took a beating with all the downhill in Utah. I am ready to start some easy hills.
