Warm up run on the bike path before 5k. The second half was with John and Joe as they were setting out mile-markers. Finished up with some strides.

The Giblet Gobbler 5k on the Lunken bike trail, organized by the Spot for the group only. So it was a very limited field. With the T-day race coming up I didn't want to do anything stupid and acquire another injury, so the plan was to treat this as a tempo run, around 6:40 pace.

I started out a bit fast at 3:03 for the first half mile and a 6:18 mile. As I was feeling quite comfortable and relaxed, I didn't let it bother me too much. For the second mile, I settled into a slightly slower pace of 6:26, hitting the half-way mark at 9:54. The third mile was about the same, though I forgot to take the split at 3. Then for the last bit I kicked it in.

Nice to get in under 20' while still having some left in the tank. Now I just have to keep this pace for another 5k and I'll be set come Thursday.

Won a pair of sunglasses and a free Chipotle burrito for finishing 1st. Cool!
Splits:
1- 6:18, Half-3:35 (9:54), 2-2:51 (12:45), F-6:56 (19:42)
