P90X Day 48 I skipped Kempo today for a local 5K fund raisers for the high school cross country team. I am not trained for running but I wanted to support the cross country team so I showed up, paid my $25 and toed the line. The race was on a local golf course which was kind of fun, but challenging with all the sandy spots, sharp turns, and hills. I went out at a conservative pace and settled into a nice groove by mile 1. About 2 1/2 miles into the race I was running with one other guy who looked like he was about 20 years old. We were in 6th and 7th place. I was ahead, but right before mile 3 he passed me. I just hung on. He had about 10 yards on me coming into the final turn with about 200m go. Even though I was hurting, I decided to go for it. I caught up to him and he kicked as hard as he could we were both in a full sprint. I knew I was faster than him if I could just endure the pain. With about 30 yards to go he quit and I sprinted in for the 6th place finish and 1st in my AG. |
