1st Race for 2011 - and It was a Good One!

This morning I ran Adam's Heart & Sole 5K (@ Lakeshore Running Trail).  The trail is mostly a flat course, which was good for me since this was my first race in 2011 and first race back since start rehabbing for me knee.  I set my target pace on the GPS-enabled app on my BB for 15:00, nit expecting to do much better than that.  And the weather certainly was weird today - we had snow flurries! And quite heavy at times during the race.  However, this wasn't a real factor for the course because they melted on contact with the ground, but it was certainly a sight to behold!

My stats - finished 41:36 (13:25 pace)! And my knee felt very good - no pain, but it did get a little tired about halfway between mile 2 & 3.  I was very pleased with performance in this race.  I'm looking for to next week's 5 and I may add a longer run (5 miles) this week to see what my knee can do.
