NoHo 5K plus four-- Tue. June 24

In between-ish weather, not too hot and some showers during the day; feeling generally pretty tired and a bit wooden legged on account of the bike rides previous night and this morning. Still, wanted to add the miles and maybe try running a controlled race instead of an all-out. Parked as usual by boathouse (got mosquito bite instantly on ankle when changing shoes, arg!) and ran somewhat briskly up to the course, slowly warming up a bit. *Very* muggy. Good turnout, and spot Ivan early. Return knife to April (long story), then it's time to go -- tell Ivan I'll stick on his shoulder as he's feeling good and should make perfect pace. Very little air, so it feels like a push all the way: at the end, make a bit of an effort but pretty tired, so don't catch the chap ahead.

Time: 20:49
Distance: 3.14 miles(GPS)
Speed: 9.0 mph

Comment: Ivan makes it a course PB by a few seconds, and I get a solid race. Brief eats, then we both headed back to the car, so I have these extra miles again:

Time: 30:52
Distance: 4.09
Speed: 7.95
