Sole to Soul 5K race report

Just got back from a morning of racing with the family!  Caitlin is home on spring break, so all 4 of us headed to the 5K at about 7:30 this morning (Mark, Kyle, Caitlin and I).  It was about 21 degrees when we left the house and only 27 degrees after we finished the race - quite a cold morning.  Caitlin and I ran most of the race together, with Kyle very close to us.  Mark, of course, was way in front of us and finished at under a 6 min/mile pace.  Caitlin, Kyle and I did about 7:45/mile, which I was happy with.  This was the 1st running of the Sole to Soul 5K in Avon, benefitting Holy Trinity school.  It was very well organized and a very nice, flat course - small turnout this year, but that can be expected for such a cold, spring morning, I guess.  After the race, Mark, Caitlin and I did the course again to get another 3 miles in as a cooldown.  Kyle decided to nap in the car while we ran.  We then all headed to Bruegger's Bagels for some carbo loading after the run.
All in all - a very nice morning with the family - the sun is shining - and it's Saturday!  Too bad I now have to work on taxes :(
