The Fall Festival 5k is a small, local race with a 9:10am start.  The course is run all around the OSU campus.  Stormy weather last night left us with some wet conditions, including rain, for today's race.  Solid race for me but not a PR.  I thought I might be able to pull off a PR today despite having just run my last long run for NWM two days ago (22 miles!) but my legs were tired.  I started much too fast and half a mile into the race I could feel the tiredness in my legs.  I decided a PR was not going to happen today about a mile into it but thought I'd hang on the best I could for something around 23 minutes.  I finished in 23:15.  I was totally out kicked in the last block of the race which was disappointing but I feel good knowing I gave it my all to the end.  Fun and fast!  Love 5k races!!
