On the road again...
Paul - sorry I missed you! You should've called out. (I'm assuming you saw me as I was puttering up and down the middle of the road in the rain during the 15min lightning delay?) Nice job on your time -- only ~70sec off your 5k PR, and that's post-marathon and with no speed training.
I saw you running out from the start warming up before the expected start at 9. I waited a bit to see you when you came back but never saw you again. I just figured you'd found a nice spot a half mile down the road where you could get a head start.
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

Hehe. No, a race official told me about the 15min delay as I trotted by. So I used the time to determine landmarks at 200, 400 and 600m out from the finish.
