I have been sick all week. Laying around not being able to breath, headaches, sinus pressure......you get the picture. Last night I decided no way was I going to go to Cedar and run the Summer Games 10k. I tossed and turned all night and then looked at the clock, 4:45, If I get up and go now I can make it in time. So I went- It sure was tough trying to breath in the higher elevation plus I couldn't breath well anyway. Went out at 6:36 pace for the first mile wondering how long I could hold this pace. Kept pretty steady through mile 2 with 6:46. The things started getting tough with the breathing 7:07/ 7:43, At this point I decided the only way I could finish with out dying would be to take some walk breaks---7:36/ 7:21 and finished the last .2 at 7:09 Not so happy about the time but happy I finished and won my age group, I ended up being the only one, wish I would have known that before the race then I could have had a lot more fun..lol We shall see how the 5k goes in the morning-----
