Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

I think it is a good thing that you had the guts and the ability to open in 6:16. Means the speed is still there. The speed is the difficult component - if you do not have it already it does not come easily. Endurance is easy, you just run the mileage and occasional tempo runs.

I conquer--- love the opening mile!! your speed is there!! and wintery runs in the fall just are not easy. btw 5ks are harder than marathons for me!! Just ran one and it was inhaler time in the first 1/2 mile!! I have no doubts you will surpass your goals in running!! :D keep up the good work!!

Definitely a blog PR for shortest race report ever.

Nice job on the race though, it won't be much longer before the speed endurance comes back. Just don't read anything into a bad 5k, especially with some wind and stuff.
