Labor Day 5K in Ft Worth. My achilles tendon has been bothering me, so I took it easy. Ran the 1K with my youngest boy. Then ran the 5K starting at the back. Ran a little over 24:00 -- with a first mile of about 10:00 (lots of people). Ran the last two miles in the low 7:00s. Not ready for racing, yet. It was a great day.
