The City of Redmond does a summer series of bi-weekly Wednesday evening 5k's at Grasslawn Park, which cost like 10 bucks and are great for someone like me who isn't interested in spending $40 every time for all the extra "yay!" and is just looking for someone to give him a starting line, a finish line, and hopefully someone(s) as fast or faster to chase.
Anyway, I totally forgot until yesterday that the first one was today and didn't account for a race-effort in my training plan, then I got tied up at work and arrived about two minutes before the run started and wasn't able to warm up at all. So I ended up just doing a weird negative-split thing where I started out uber-slow and consistently sped up until I was somewhere in the neighborhood of 5k pace by the end. Perhaps not the most useful training ever but oh well.
