So much for taking it easy today and letting my shoulder heal. I really wanted to run the 5k but considering the intensity and downhill course I am sure I would have aggravated my shoulder even more. Looks like the competition was blazing fast. Wow. I have run a lot of races in California and the competition out there doesn't come close to the what I see at the local races in SLC. If there was some type of state competition I think Utah could hold its own with anybody.
Instead of the race I went to the gym to see how it would feel to run on the treadmill. Started out at 7 min pace, then 6:30, then 6, then ended with two miles under 5:30. Average pace 5:56. 0.5% incline. Run felt good.
The shoulder felt ok while I was running but now it's a little sore. Hopefully I can redeem myself next week at the Strider's Half. We'll see.
