Today I ran the Depot Days 5k in my home town.I had a race plan to try to run at a 7:45 -7:50 pace and pick it up in the last mile.The day started with lite rain and continued the whole race.This race has been run for several years and has a pretty good turn out.The race started and I stuck to my race plan for the most part.At 2.7 miles I tried to kick it in gear.The last .30 to .40 I ran at a 6:15/pace.I crossed the finish line at 23:49 and my garmin showed 3.11 miles at a 7:39/pace.A new PR for me and a lot of fun. |
