Comments: Today's race went poorly. I started out okay, going through the first mile in 6:11, but I started struggling shortly thereafter. By the last half-mile I was completed gassed. Other runners were passing me in droves. The sole highlight of the race was that I managed to beat the first dog AND the first baby stroller. I guess I shouldn't expect to run great 5k's on minimal training.

I saw Greg and Laurie at the race, which surprised me, even though I think I knew they were going to be there. Besides Jake, none of my "normal" friends did any running, so now it's nice to have some familiar faces to look for. Hopefully, I'll see them at another race sometime.

Later in the day, a few guests came to the house to wish me happy birthday. After the left, Angie and I headed down to the Dog and Pony for a birthday beer. A few friends showed up, and I had a good time.
 
Sometimes I feel like I'm breathing underwater.
