6 lunchtime miles with Darin (Dave is still nursing his sore calf). Enjoying the cool, dry weather. Started with a 7:40 miles, and ended with a 6:20. Felt good, especially for having taken 5 days off and getting over the sinus infection thing.

I entered the Mayfest 10K race in Ft Worth on Saturday. I was planning to run about 6:40/mi, but ended up with 7:03/mi and still managed 3rd in my AG (about a minute behind Darin). It was windy, and about 70...but I just wasn't feeling it. (I ran a fast 6 miler on Thursday than I did at this race). Maybe it was the 2 bratwursts I had for dinner the night before??? It wasn't my day. 

I'm not entering this as a Race Report, because I don't feel like I raced it. :)
