I went down to Logan this morning to the First Dam Run. I had been thinking about running the 5k but havn't been wanting to risk my hamstring recovery yet with any speedwork. My son had wanted to do it also so I decided to run it with him. He had a nice start and appeared to be running comfortably the first mile which is all up hill and we finished it in 8:30. Right at the end of that mile he suddenly didn't feel so good and started to walk. He was afraid he might puke. He picked up running again and I know he was in pain but he kept pushing on. The rest of the race was all downhill or level. He was a little slower on those 2 miles but I'm proud of him for giving it what he had and not quiting. He actually came up with a good little sprint at the end and passed a few people. He got 2nd in his age group. His blog name is melosh and you can read his report there. Got to meet Jon and Marci, Cody, Joe, and Lisa P from the blog.
PM ran 5 easy miles 8:19 pace. I plan to keep next weeks runs easy and short again. |
