Notes
Houston's 12k of Christmas. Start was downtown at the Wortham Center. Lots of street parking available. I got there in time to do a couple mile warmup. It seemed like a sort of sketchy area so I just jogged back and forth along the one populated block... Had no idea where my fitness was here, so I just went out controlled and what felt fast. 12k is 7.44, but my garmin said 7.35. Looking back, I think I could have pushed the pace more than I did. Left too much on the table. Breathing never got out of control and my legs never really hurt much. Gotta get back into the racing mentality. I did have fun chasing down a few runners during the later miles.
