3.25 mile 5k in sugar house park. I've ran it 3 times and always measured 3.25. We do this race every year as a team to honor my brother who was an organ donor. It is hard for me to actually race because it is just way more about my brother and the cause. That said I did want to use it as a good workout. I love running in sugar house, the hills are a bit of a challenge but feel really good and I think the trail running I've been doing has improved my hill running skills. I felt really strong the entire time. 6:15, 6:09, 5:56, 86 seconds for the last 400. With only a 4 min wu and coming off a hard workout on Thurs I felt really good about this time. Really thankful one of the Alta XC runners showed up or I would have never pushed this hard. 5ks hurt! It was a really great day and I'm incredibly thankful to everyone who came out and supported our team this year. Always a fun day! 2.5 mi cool down mostly with Bec & Ericka. Fun to cheer everyone on. Am #2: 6 mi in Provo canyon with cam cam wearing a sports bra & hokas! What a sight for sore eyes. ~8 pace. Felt good to shake the cobwebs out. |
