Start of June, Summer 5K series

Tonight the summer 5K series started over at the High School.  There was a bit of high drama, as I tried to entice my daughters to participate in the 1 mile fun run.  My elder daughter wanted to run the 5K, but hadn't been training as I'd encouraged her to.  My younger daughter was keen to run, but had a hard time pacing herself, and pooped out.  My wife ran the 1 mile with them, and helped the little one get across the finish line with me.  I told the elder that if she trained with me she could start the 5Ks with me next week.

As for me, I felt pretty good on the course, and I think I achieved a PB for this route.  Yep, I beat my previous PB by over a minute.  As you can see from my measurement, it's a bit longer than 3.1 miles, so I don't feel too bad about being a bit slower on my 5K times.  Also, it was warm but not blazing out there.
