Run to the peak

Running:
I did end up running in the Hartland 5K race this morning. I ran the race in 21:51 and was second in my age group. This was my slowest 5K ever. I've run this race 4 years in a row now. This year the course was changed. The race name changed and is now called "Run to the Peak 5K". Now I know why. The first 1.7 miles are up hill or slightly up hill the whole way all the way past the water tower near the highest part of town. Granted there is some downhill after that, but I didn't expect this at all. Usually in a 5K race no one passes me in the last mile. Not today. I had a few guys pass me up and I had no response. My hamstring felt awful tight. I've been nursing it along the last several weeks. Today when I tried to sprint it felt like it would fall apart. My youngest daughter Alia also ran the race today. She finished first in her age group with a time of 25:02. She's going to try out for the cross country team this fall when she's in high school. Here's a link to the race results.

Hunting:
My daughter's soccer coach brought over some seed for me this morning. Looks like a combination of certain brassicas and some turnips. I'll have to plant at least half of my food plot with this and maybe the whole thing. Now I just have to finish getting the soil ready to plant it.

Gardening:
Finally got some rain over night last night. About 3:30 in the morning some noisy storms rolled through. They lasted for about two hours. It looks like about .7 of an inch. It wet the ground about as deep as you can stick your finger in. Better than nothing and I didn't have to water anything today for a change. I'll take it, but we need more than that.
