I've been tired and extremely sluggish on the runs right after work, but feel good on the runs/workouts after dinner.  Strange

Sun Run 5k in Columbus, IN.  8a this morning - about 60 degrees this morning.  This is a flat course that I thought I was going to do better on.  The late night on Thursday at the concert played a part in this performance, I think.  Goal was to break 18:00 today - on pace through 2 mi., then the legs felt like they were extremely tight and tired. 

18:27.3 w/ splits: 5:40.5, 5:56.5, 6:06.6, 0:43.6

AM: easy 3.32 mi. w/ dog - 28:08,

mod. 5.11 mi. 39:37, legs are hurting pretty bad

PM after dinner: 10 mi. bike - 33:37 (17.9 mph)
