I went for a 3.5 mile run yesterday evening.  This was my first run in July after not very many in June.  It was a hot and humid run--still 84* at 7:00PM.  Yuck!  But I did it.  I finished in 29:55 which is about a minute slower than I've been lately.  Part of that minute was waiting for the train.  The RR gates came down, and I slowed down and waited.  The safe thing to do, but I easily could have made it across before the train.  (Unless I tripped or got my foot caught or something awful like that.)

We are running a 5K race on Sunday evening.  This is my first 5K of the year.  I ran 2 last year.  My best time at 5K was 29 even, so I would like to beat that.  I think that's pretty likely since I'm running about 1 min/mile faster than last year.  Guess we'll see!
