I ran the speedy spaniard 10k this morning, it staretd by running from my brothers house to the starting line which is just over 3 miles at a real easy pace and then I picked up my packet and got ready to go. Here are my splits for the race; 1. 7:52 pretty much uphill and my breathing was way hard. 2. 7:10 downhill 3. 7:09 downhill and flat, pretty good mile. 4. 7:26 gradual downhill but I had a side stich on this one, lost it a little bit. 5. 7:38 legs getting tired and losing concentration. 6. 7:41 I kind of gave up a little here, when I should have been pushing Hard... .14 7:25 recovered a little bit here... I was really disappointed in those last 2 miles I didn't push through those like I should have, If I could have ran those under the 7:30 mark I would have been sub 46 minutes by a long ways but I didn't do it! After the race we ran back to my brothers house which was 3.24 miles for a nice easy cool down, I feel like it was a good effort today even though I don't have the fitness level that I would like. I was 3 minutes slower than I was 3 years ago and I think that is because of the lack of fitness but I think I'm on the right track. I didn't sleep real well last night so that may have been why I lost it towards the end, but when you have 3 High schoolers in your house it makes it hard to get to sleep at night, I think its time for a nap. See ya Monday.
