Your line is fine.

A possible alternate line is to call and reevaluate on the turn. I know that most of the time an overcard will hit but that could be a good thing if he has a pocket pair.

Plus I think he could easily put you on a steal here, he could make that raise with a wide range (like any A, any 5) because he has outs if you call.

Anyone like call, raise turn?

I considered the flat call, and in retrospect, my raise made the hand a little more difficult to play.

Reasons for calling
-Keeps the pot small.
-Maintains my positional advantage. Since I can't call a reraise, raising negates my positional advantage on future streets.
-Hopefully pick up a scare card on the turn.

Reasons for raising
-Win the pot right there.
-I'm uncertain on how big he will make the pot later on. If I had a better read, this would be less important.
-I can probably get a cheaper showdown.

This was a pretty small hand, but I thought it was interesting.

Edit: I didn't see the "raise turn" at the end. I think that line will really swell the pot, as his turn bet is probably going to be a lot larger if he doesnt have the straight already.
