Jason, mom, dad, and I ran the Seasons 5.2K in Winter Park yesterday. While initially cold, it proved to be great weather for a race. I did not do as well as I expected, but it was nice to race again. Even though I felt like I was running fast, I guess it took a toll on me and the walk breaks were slower than usual (I ran the first mile, then walked for 1 minute, then walked at the water stop and probably every 1/2 mile thereafter). I attribute my slow overall pace to the massive crowds and the fact that I have been slacking on my running a bit since being on vacation and moving. Either way, this is a PR since I've never run a 5.2K race before ;)
Splits (from Garmin)
mile 1: 11:15

Never thought about it being a PR! Love it! It was a very crowded race and it was hard to find your groove. It was great to see your family run too.
Whoo hoo! Congratulations!
Your splits are awesome.
Looks great! Know what's funny, one of the new blogs I read, she went to this race too! It stuck out, being a 5.2k and all. :)
You're really coming all the way out here to SF for Bay to Breakers? That is so exciting! I'd love to meet you. :)
