5k on the track. I haven't run a 5k since the fall so I had noooo idea how fast I should attempt to run it. I decided to try 7 minute miles to start (which being as meticulous as I am, means I tried 52 or 53 second 200s, and of course checked every 200 meters to make sure I was on). I stuck with the pace very easily, and picked it up a little bit the last few laps, finishing in 21:39. There was only one other girl in the race, a 14-year old who ran less than 20 minutes! Insane. But we ran with the guys so they kept me from getting in last place!
Next time I want to try to get under 21... that would definitely wear me out a lot more. |
