Spear-It 5K

What was supposed to be a rainy day turned out to be beautiful.  Great running weather - cool and hardly any wind.  My time was 27:44 (8:56 ppm), which is a modern era record for me.  I caught the locally famous Jan Spitler in the last mile, but she edged me out at the end by 3 seconds.  I met my goal of beating last year's time and breaking 29 minutes.  My mile splits were 9:04; 9:05; and 8:46.  The last 1.1 miles was 9:35  (8:43 ppm.)
