Dog Day 5 Mile Run in Surf City this past Sunday went really well! I hit the 3 mile mark at 23:08 - which would have resulted in my best 5k time since last year's half marathon training. Hit the 4 mile mark in 31:20 and then picked up the pace. Figured i could easily finish within the 39min mark. Got to the finish line at 40:18...
I remember these things because that was a great run for me - especially considering my lack of wodding and my hip issues the past two weeks. Got to the print out and expect to see a sub 40 and see 40:25?!? Either the timer on the road was off or i will lose faith in the compuscore system. The llocfme did great as usual - ffl got 3rd female overall and in only one week of training, the head of KDPI breezed in under an 8:40 pace :) Fell asleep at the beach for a little bit and had a productive Sunday evening.
Family comes home this week - and now my big 'day' is Thursday not Friday - as none of the principals will be there on Friday. Big changes ahead :)
Again, awesome job ffl. I am really proud of you. It didn't even look like you were tired at the end of the race. With that kind of effort, the ultra will be an easy day :)
