Small race in small town, only had to worry about Patrick Fagerman, but he had run the 3M River City Run 10K on Saturday so he wasn't fresh. I lead start to finish feeling pretty good the whole way; splits: 5:38, 6:08, 5:44, :38. Not really sure why my 2nd mile lacked. This was my first race in my NIKE LUNARACERS, very comfortable fit and ride and sooo light.

Kelly got 1st in her age group and the girls all medaled in the fun run. Great day for TEAM ELMORE.

Congrats on the win, and congrats to all of the lovely lady Elmores on a solid day, as well.

Out of curiosity, are the Lunaracers comparable to anything? I've heard about several folks using them as a kind of minimal type road shoe, and I'm just curious. (clearly they're good for winning races...)

They could be used a a light trainer, much like the ASICS DS Trainer. I use a PowerStep orthotic which stiffens up the midsole. Satterfield ran RCM last year in them, I plan on the same this year. I've got an even lighter shoe, NIKE STREAK on order for short races.
