Work today was fine, in the bland, nothing went horribly wrong sense of fine. But I did come home with a headache. Not a throbbing one, but more of an insistent tapping sort. It wasn't the kind of headache that you can ignore, but at the same time, not one to require much attention. I watched my son's tennis for a bit, then came home to change. After reading motivational running quotes all afternoon, the plan was a repeat of the 5k time trial from last week or the week before. A perfect afternoon, temps were wonderful and the sun shining. I walked out the door, stepped off the porch and pressed start. Mile 1 was 6:50. I didn't feel great. My creek split was 14:2x, about 30 seconds faster than last time. Of note, just before the creek, things started feeling good, but it only lasted about 90 seconds. The reversion back to feeling like a 5k wasn't so great. Why can't it keep feeling good? Final time was 19:52, a minute improvement. After laying down on a random lawn to forestall puking, I got up and ran slowly home. Water is on at the c-ville baseball complex. It's such a good time of year for running! Finally, Centerville City Trails Committee is sponsoring a run on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail tomorrow morning at 9. A 5k and 10k course will be marked. This is not a race!! Meet at the Parrish Lane Trailhead. Good times will ensue, I guarantee it.
