Ran a 5k this morning, my time sucked but it was a tough course and was much better quality than the 21 minute tempo I was supposed to do in Island Park (I can almost guarantee I wouldn't have hit it with all the snow up there and being all by myself). I'm one who has to have a good first mile, my first mile was 6:30ish... Yikes. I lost focus in the middle, mostly mental because of all the hills. I didn't know when it would end. 6:50ish second mile and 6:35ish last mile plus whatever to the finish. Yeah not a great race but it served its purpose. I didn't prepare at all for it, usually when I have a good race I have some sort of plan. Today I just showed up and ran :) On a happier note I BEAT THE MAYOR! We did the course as a cool down even though I didn't want to. Final time: 20:21 yes I feel so accomplished HAPPY TURKEY DAY! Time to stuff my face with CHICKEN.
