2nd Annual Hollyday 5k Fun Run

2nd Annual Hollyday 5K Fun Run on Saturday Sept 10th in Destin, FL on vacation.  It was literally across the street from our rental house near the beach.  The course ran along the Gulf Coast out and back.  I haven't been running this summer due to the 100+ degree weather in Texas this summer.  I had a great race, weather was ~70 at 7:30am for the start.  I did okay and placed 2nd out of 5 in the 30-35 age group with a time of 23:06, I think this is only 16 seconds slower than my all time PR.  


Overall great time, makes me want to race more...but not really run.  I ran this morning since it was mid 60's out.  I easily maintained a sub 9min mile pace for 2 miles...had thoughts ranging from "I should do another Marathon" to "Why am I running?".  For now, I'll plan to do another 5k or two this year when the weather cools off, but doubt I train much.


*Wore my Merrill Trail Gloves, didn't have my Saucony Kinvara's with me as I had no plans to run. Just re-read an old blog post, I wore the Merrill's for my 22:50 PR too.
