AM: Today was the Draper Days 5k! I warmed up with the girls for about 2.5 miles. I got out good, but maybe a little too fast. When I started to settle into what I thought was a good race pace, people started to pass. I tried to match people whenever they came, but often I would let them go after about 10 seconds. Finally I decided I was going to actually stick with whoever came next, turns out it was Nate. So I stuck with him, and we started to catch up to people. When I started to fall off, Kiley soon started to pass. I matched her the best I could and I was doing well, but then I lost it mentally because I thought we were almost done but from what I could see it just kept going. Turns out we actually were almost done my eyes were playing tricks on me. When I tried to kick I felt like I couldn't, maybe I just wasn't trying hard enough. I got 20:29, so not that great. Afterward I felt really light headed, and I was blocking out what a lot of people were saying, and not really fully understanding people either, it was weird. Sorry guys. Once we started the cool down I felt better. It was at an easy pace, kinda slow but it felt nice. We did about 2.5. When I got home I waited around for an hour, then did 6 more miles. PM: I did 3.5. It was way too hot outside. The arch of my foot has been hurting lately, and it started to hurt much worse than it has been on this run. When I got home I iced and rolled it out, but still hurts. I think I'm just going to take a break from running for a bit, I don't want to push it to a bigger injury, I don't want a repeat of last year.
