Base 10k. Devil dash. My goal was to stay around 47 min. Super humid and warm out. At least it wasn't super windy, the runway gets so windy and horrible to run on. Started out pretty conservative. it just got really boring when we hit the back runway and headed west. Pretty much running alone for the race. Started catching up to the 5k runners and I was about half way. Ran around the planes, I just wanted it to be over. Hit mile 5 and just knew I had a little more than a mile. Most of the last mile was uphill. Saw david with about half mile to go. I threw my hat at him and he stopped and picked it up. He ran me to the finish. 5th overall and 2nd female. I didn't think I did that bad until I looked at my time from last year. 4 extra minutes. Dang. I am 19 weeks prego and any running is great for me at this point. Racing is just an extra ego booster. People tend to get frustrated around here when a prego passes them up. Walked back to get naomi, she was with gramps and grandma walking the 5k. They were happy they were only second to last this year. Haha |
