My third run went amazing! Pretty bad start. I didn't even get to stretch, Jordan was immediately on the line, so I took off my sleeves and pajamas and took off. First mile was an 8:13 because it was at midnight and I fell off the trail and got lost and had to stop. Chest pain was still pretty bad. Next few miles were low 6's. I was irate because I really wanted to go sub 6 pace. Then I remembered I told someone I'd try and win for them, and suddenly all my chest pain was erased. Mind you I still had to control my breathing and make sure I was breathing in an awkward pattern to make the pain subside. But I went crazy. Split a few 5's, including a 5:32 and a good portion at 5:12 pace for 5:57 avg pace! What a great run. Killed my quads though lol. Was totally serene and calming to run completely alone down a highway overpass at night. I thought about a lot of stuff when I wasn't picking up the pace
Nothing noteworthy about my last leg. Chest was pretty bad, got a 24:50 for four miles. Our team got us behind a bit but I closed some of the gap on Alta
