5 mile long run in the canyon today. The goal was to run at 6:00 pace. I ran with Dad, JoJo, and Chad. Benjamin ran the first mile as a warmup and then did his own workout. Our first mile was about 6:00 even, I felt good, a little stiff but otherwise fine. I started to warm up a bit more in the second mile, we ran around 5:55 for that mile. JoJo was struggling and stopped at 3 miles. We had 17:55 at 3 miles. I was still feeling pretty good with 2 to go. At around 3.5 a biker wouldn't get out of the way and we had to dodge it. That made me start panicking for some reason. I started feeling really bad so we slowed down to 92's
for a coupe quarters, luckily I was able to sped back up and ran the last mile in 5:52. It wasn't easy though, I still felt pretty bad. When I'm running fast little things set me off. I need to learn how to avoid panicking when I'm stressed. I think this is my fastest 5 miles though, 29:39. |
