Our church had a 5k today to raise money for an inner city youth program that we support. It was very low key and I ran it more like a hard tempo. I went over early and helped them setup and then was able to get in a 2 mile warmup before we started. It was a nice morning with lower temps (around 60) but still pretty windy. When we started the run I tried to go out controlled and not push it too much. I was hoping to run around 6:30 miles but hit the first mile in 6:20. I felt pretty good but slowed down some on the second mile and came through in 6:25. I was able to keep the pace pretty consistent finishing up and ran the third mile in 6:21. I finished in 19:36 which I was happy with since I didn't really treat this like a race. I think the course was a little short I had it at 3.08 on my Garmin but still a decent result. I did a little jogging around after but had to leave quickly to go to my daughter's soccer game and then after the game we went to Kentucky for a family reunion. It was a very busy day and I was glad to get a good workout in and a few miles. |
