Decided  yesterday to run the nestle 5k to see where I compared to last year.  I was thinking I would run in the 21-22 range so was pleasantly surprised to finish with the time I did.  Met McKenzie early for a good 6 miles warmup, running the course.  The first mile is a hard one as I was remebering form the year before.  Any way I was not sure how much I would be into this.

1-7:00 Trying to stay sub 7 but this has a killer uphill in that hurt my legs and I am just not a fast starter.

2-6:33 Started thinking to myself there is only 2 more miles so I really have to start to work if I want a decent time.  Pass a ton of people.

3-6:33 Just glad I was the same.

.1-36.85 (5:22 pace) saw the clock and realized I could make it below 21 and sprinted my guts out.  I didn't have it on running time so i had no idea.

Really happy with this.  Cooled down with Mac and Sue on the course backwards. 

2137 registered runners, not sure of placing yet.

Great race! I've been thinking it would be fun to run a 5k to see what I could do..Maybe you'll push me into actually doing it. Rock-n-Roll...

Great job Josse. It was fun to see and chat with you yesterday.

From Jon on Sun, Jun 07, 2009 at 09:42:26 from 75.169.153.187

Nice job, Josse.

From JulieC on Sun, Jun 07, 2009 at 17:23:53 from 67.42.18.222

Josse, my iron rod, literally for this race. You did awesome and you helped me to at least make it under 21. I was terribly wanting to give up and when you passed me I was thinking if I could just keep you in my sight you would keep me at some decent pace instead of fading fast. You truly are inspiring and I am thankful for your example of positiveness in races. Good luck next week at UVM, I hope to be at the finish line to cheer you on!!
