Another Monday.

I did an easy 5 this morning in cloudy humid conditions, and mixed in a few race paced strides. No rain while I was out there, but today is certainly a washout as far as house painting is concerned. Looks like the rest of the day will be spent running errands and then relaxing before I head up to Lake Tak later for another 5k.
The second half of the day went great. Another win at Tak, along with my fastest 5k on that course. I had a high school kid take me through the first mile @ 5:39. He started to fade before we hit two miles @ 5:50 (found out after the race that he was only running 2 miles.) I went through 3 @ 5:50. So I finished @ 17:50 I think. Felt great. I think running as fast as I did at Sea Girt a few weeks ago just broke some kind of a mental block for me. Plus I backed of some of the easy runs and I'm definitely feeling stronger for it. Warm up and cool down adds 5 more to the day, so 10 total.
