Maybe the moral of the story is to run a time-trial on a track for an accurate time. It's free. There's just something about a race that makes one go a little faster. I'm just trying to see where I really am at 48 almost 49 years old. Fortunately most of my running is on trails with my dog where time is irrelevant. Just wanted to make sure I could still run in the 20s for 5k at this age. Today's effort demonstrates that despite the lack of precision. I'll let it go at that.
