AM Draper Days 5K Got to the park 15 mins before the race so not much time for a warm up. The race this year was short because we didn't run on the certified course because of road construction. Last year I ran 19:39 on the full course so I will stay call it an improvement over last year because it was maybe 20 seconds short. I know better, but going into the race like many years before, I gave myself an out. An excuse...And you can never run your best when you go into the race accepting defeat. I knew I was at high miles and Des was in a week, so I wasn't that concerned by who finished ahead of me. Until after the race then I get mad at myself for letting it happen. And maybe I couldn't have done anything about the outcome, but I never fought. I did a cool down run of 6 with Jake, Andrea and Emily. Turned around and added another 1.25 with Devra and Neal. We talked about different strategies for the marathon and how we might be able to help each other. Going for a good run in the morning up on Jeremy Ranch road. Want elevation, distance and soft surface. PM 3.5 miles cuz we had to return a few red box DVD's 26:26
