I signed up for a smaller 5K at the request of some friends. I wanted some racing anyway so it wasn't like I did not want to do it anyway. At the beginning of the week I was thinking PR. After Thursday's flu/food episode I did not think I would make it at all. Well I showed up despite being weak, not much food in days and 0 miles since Wednesday. I thought if I could finish a minute slower than my PR I would be OK with that, and that is exactly what I did. Good temps at 57, BUT windy, raining and puddles took a bit away from the favorable temps. Splits: 6:28, 6:32, 6:50 (6:42 for .11) 

Now that I am home I am not feeling the best so maybe I should have rested instead, but I was happy to finish 1st even though it was a small field. I will put the gift cards to good use.

Considering the state you were in leading up to this, great job. Plus, it's pretty cool to get the win - no matter what! Congrats!

Thanks Joe- I definitely was weak. And you are right- winning is cool :)

D, JG, Allie - Thanks guys. I like to know that any of you will have killed me in that race. Advantage Ohio and small.

Allie- Yeah, I had chicken wings Wednesday night. Turns out their freezer was not working and they thought the chicken was fine.... ugh
