Fun On The Freeway 5K

5K "Fun On The Freeway" run on I-64 in St Louis. About 2000 people ran, so somewhat crowded, but with 5 lanes of freeway to run on, it was all right. Ran with Bob, who again said he was going to run 'slow' but then he ran somewhat fast anyway, heh. Couse had a decent uphill to start, then down, then back up, turn around, and then back to the start, so the finish was downhill. Splits of 9:35, 9:19, 9:06 and 1:03 for the final .12 miles, so 8:25 pace. Overall 29:05 time, 9:18 pace. Heart rate was 163. Wanted to run a little slower since I'm doing 15 miles yet today, but it wasn't too bad. In the 50s but windy, though the course was OK because the wind was from the south (cross wind) and a lot of the times it seemed like the sound walls was blocking the wind.
