My legs were fried for this race - Race number 4 in 12 days - 3 x 5ks, and this one was a long, hilly 10k.  Wanted something like 37:30, but pace seemed faster than my legs had in them and the temp was in the low 80s to boot - crash and burn... :)

5:55, 6:02, 6:50, 6:23, 6:55, 6:25, 1:37

My watch read 6.28 mi.- 40:08.9

A month off from races seems totally necessary - thankfully, that's what I have on my schedule. 

8 PM bike ride: 12.6 miles over to Mill Race Park and back - thankfully I was not hit by any fireworks :)

Lake Cumberland - Nice little jog up the boat ramp to the car to get a girl's bag :)  About 400 yds of swimming to the shore and back from boat.  Other than that - all relaxing.
