Race day, and feeling 'iffy' when I got up.  Feeling like I have food poisoning or a stomach bug.  To make a long story short, went to the race and started but within the first 100 yards, I knew I would hurt myself if I continued, so I took a left turn instead of right at the second intersection and went home.  Was seriously sick the rest of the day and fell asleep early again.  I have never not finished a race and don't plan to make a habit of it.  2nd 5-miler is in 2 weeks.  Thank goodness for second chances!

Feeling better today, but stomach still a little queasy.  Ran with my border collie, Ada, at 7:30 - 6.21 miles easy pace.  The second half felt better than the first.  It's getting humid again.

Planned to run after work but sheep herding training lasted longer than I expected.  It was a good use of my time though, so see how other handlers work with their dogs.

Race: RRS 2nd 5 miler (5 Miles) 00:39:39, Place overall: 166

RRS 2nd 5 miler.  Felt good, and took off fast.  The chrono mode for my watch did not work, so I just timed it from the HH:MM:SS from the time of day.  Race started at 7 am.  At mile 1, the watch said 7:06, and I couldn't see the seconds, but I read it as 7 minutes by mistake, so the first mile was 6 something.  Kept track of the minutes, and felt good for most of the race but was slower mile 4 to 5.  Was able to pick up the pace somewhat during mile 5 but wished I had had a little more left during the last mile.   Overall, very happy with the race.  Was 3rd or maybe 2nd in grandmasters female, but they listed one very fast runner in both masters and grandmasters category.  If she is counted as masters, then I was 2nd.

 Rode the mountain bike 10 miles with the family on the greenline just before lunchtime.
