Notes
Midnight Madness with about one warm-up mile. First run in new Hoka Claytons, which I absolutely loved. Nice evening for a run, about 77 at the start, likely 72 at the finish, so not too hot. Ran a really smart race, with sequential miles of 7:49, 7:55, 7:53, 7:55, 7:52 (37 seconds total under an 8 minute pace for the first five miles), and then the final 1.22 miles at a 7:27 pace (for another 33 seconds under), for a final time of 48:50. Most pleased. Celebrated with Kathleen at Torrent, before heading over to the party, where I didn't stay because it already was late. Third in my age group!
