I had a Salt Lake overnight for work this weekend so I got up and decided to try a 5K.  Enough time with that stupid tendon!  I was kind of curious how swimming affected my running for the last four weeks. 

There was a fast field that showed up so I was excited to get a good run in.  Everyone started out pretty fast with around a 5:10 pace and I was shooting for about 5:30 so it took a while to catch the group.  It felt great and the pace was right on for me, a guy I didn't recognize passed me at 2.5 miles and felt good enough to hang on until about the 3 mile point to kick it in a bit and pass him back.  That felt a bit like racing again!  Best news is that I have the tendon strength, I believe, so it's time to start training again!
