Los Gatos Resolution Run. Sunny, cold (40 degrees). Run in short sleeves. Really bad night's sleep, but it didn't affect the run at all. The temperature was actually perfect for me. Heel still feels good, making it easy to warm up. Started out with Philip. 1.5 laps on track, pace was a little faster than I planned (wanted 810, it was 758 pace after half lap), so eased off a tad. Tried to not overdo it early, given the big hill coming up. Caught back up to Philip after the one mile mark (819). Kept running all the way up to the top (345 ft elevation gain), was able to catch my breath on the way down. Kept trying to ptck up the next person on the run back along the creek, but with a half mile to go felt like I just needed to maintain the pace. Never felt as good as in the Palo Alto Baylands run a few weeks ago, but it was a decent run. Finished 5th in M60-69; would've been first in M65 if they'd had 5 year categories.
