I ran the Salt City Mile in Liberty Park today. My foot was hurting a little before the start and I wasn't feeling very energetic, but otherwise, I felt good. No soreness from the half marathon. I started out pretty well, 69 for the first quarter. The next quarter was about 73 or 74. I got kinda tired in the third quarter and slowed down a little. In the last 400 my lungs and heart felt weak. But I still had a good finish. I had 4:52 on my watch. That's a pretty good PR. 5 seconds! The chip time was a bit messed up, so I'm just going with my watch time. Overall it was a good race, my legs didn't feel very tired afterward. I think it was my lungs and heart that limited me.
