SOJO 5K. Jake and I decided to run this race for fun earlier this week. We warmed up for 1.5 miles then the race started right on time at 8:30. The first mile is flat, and I came through at 6:10. My breathing was already quite labored and my legs felt flat so I knew it wasn't going to be a fast one for me today. The next two miles were pretty hilly and I ran 6:30 then 6:25. Final stretch to the finish to a time of 19:35. The course was probably a tad bit short and more challenging since the last time I did it in 2013. I felt like I got a good workout and can't really expect much better with the slog miles I've been putting in :) I won the womens race for $75 - my first deposit in the #weddingfund!
We cooled down for 1.5 miles, got our Chick-fil-a sandwiches and were out of there by 9:35. I was impressed with the race organization and efficiency. They did a great job!
