I ran in the Payson Onion Days 5k today. I did a little bit of jogging to warm-up and then I started the race. My goal was to break 20 minutes. The first mile I started out in 6:20. I felt good, and the mile marker seemed to come really fast. From mile 1.5 to the end it was gradual uphill and was quite a bit harder. My second mile was a 6:26, my last mile was 6:28 and my last tenth was 40 seconds for a total time of 19:54. As I was getting closer to the finish line I was so tired and I was counting down the minutes. I didn't think I was going to make it, but luckily I did. After the race I jogged the course again with Sasha, Ted, my dad, and Braden. James did part of the course with us, but he didn't need to go as far so he turned around early. |
