In my head, I know I'm ready for the HM, I just don't feel particularly ready...

This morning I did a spur of the moment 5k. It's a gloriously beautiful morning, so why not? Won my age group, in 25:57 (it was a pretty small group, on a hilly course, with plenty of pollen in the air). There was one guy pushing a stroller who passed me on downhills, and then I passed him on uphills. The little guy was getting squirmy there in the last half-mile, so dad slowed down to check on him, and I was able to leave him behind for good. But running that fast with a non-running-specific stroller is pretty impressive.
