Wanted to blog about my race even though I haven't been blogging for a long time..Ran the annual farmington turkey trot this morning. Wanted to see if I could go sub 19 today and I did! First mile was 5:36, faster than I was planning-but I felt good. (slight downhill) second mile was 6:21 (.5 of very steep uphill, then down) last mile was 5:52 and 12 seconds for the last .4. (Yes, my garmin showed it was .06 short which would have made my official time of 18:24..) I haven't ran this fast in a 5k since college so I am happy with it.. I think my increase in mileage is helping me.. Worked to out kick the guy next to me to place 3rd overall. Won new shoes and 75 gift card! Not too shabby! My kids had fun playing turkey games and doing the gobble contest!! Good times!! |
