Out the door early, 5:30am, I wanted to get back in time to watch Ethan run the Salem Days 5K. I ran out to GU Corner and then back to the house, tacked on a couple more waiting for the race start, I was having stomach issues again the whole run, I had one VPM and then I just made it back to the house for another special moment and then it was unsettled for the rest of the run. I have had a head cold for most of the week, which isn't helping, and I haven't slept well cuz of the cough that I have, maybe three hours tops last night and not much better the night before that. My average pace was 8:35 with my total time at 1:37:06, HR average was at 142. Ethan did real well on the 5K, first overall in his age division with a time of 20:24, he just won't run hard for and I don't know why... he has gas in the tank but he won't use it, I know he is a sub 19 minute 5Ker but he won't let his legs go, frustrating! I'm proud of him for winning his age division though, he's a great kid!!! |
