Ran our city's christmas 5k. Thought it would be warmer so I showed up in shorts and a long sleeve. I should've worn pants bc it was really cold and windy. They changed the course but it was still a loop. Still quite hilly. Splits were 6:20, 6:41, 6:30 and about 25 seconds for the last .8. I showed the course as being slightly short at 3.08. Everyone else showed it at 3.1 or 3.12. (I always go by my garmin) It was hard for me to get in any kind of a rhythm and I was cold the whole time. The wind didn't help. I know I haven't done very much training lately, but I really thought I would have run faster today. Oh we'll. it was nice getting new shoes and 75 gift card, just wish I felt better running 5ks. my plan is to take it easy for a while and then pick things up in Oder to do a late spring/summer marathon. (Marathons are what I really love) |
