Hey, wasn't there a race today?

After getting home from work late and changing I had no idea of what route I would run. I had an idea of the distance and decided the I would parallel the TC 10k route that was run earlier today for a bit, perhaps picking up a little of the left over energy. The weather was nice and warm with a little sprinkle here and there. I started out slow and steady then as I warmed up, really got going. I felt free from time to time, running effortlessly, it was only when I thought about it that it went away. My pace wasn't important but I was feeling great. As I came to where the turnaround was for the race, I found it entertaining to see the collection of clothing that had been removed by runners during the race. All forms of cold weather gear, gloves, toques, long sleeve shirts and assorted other things. It really caught me as funny. I finished up shortly after that really strong. I visualized the last few km's of the race and tried to put that into my reality. We will see on Saturday. 1:07:22 ~ 13.8km, 4:52 per km.
