Well, I am pretty happy. I ran my 5k in 23:41, faster than any of my 5k times last year. This race was the smallest race I have ever run in, there were probably less than 30 people running. I had absolutely no one to run with for the entire race. Three men were way ahead of me, and the rest of the field was way behind me. It was a lonely, lonely race, and it was tough because usually I can keep up my pace better when there is someone alongside me or right in front of me but I had to do that all on my own which was not easy. My splits were pretty good, 1st mile was 7:33, 2nd mile 7:37, last mile with the extra tenth of a mile was 8:30. I did slow down that last mile, and that's where I think I could have maintained my pace better if I was not running alone. But anyway, I did win first overall female, and I have never done that before, so I feel pretty good about it even if it was by default :)

It is amazing to us how much hardier our incubator hatched chicks are compated to the hatchery chicks. They are growing faster, they seem more energetic, what at difference.
