Notes
Decided to use the Memorial Day 20k as a training opportunity. I went out early and ran the course alone, then got back to the start/finish in time to register and run in the actual race. It was HUMID and muggy and I was soaked in sweat. I purposefully took things slow just to get in the miles. I walked more in the second half than I wanted, but I still did a slight negative split (although I also took a bathroom break in the first half and didn't stop my watch). I wasn't fast, but I did the distance and enjoyed the experience.
Also, I ran without my Garmin. I just ran on feel. I'd like to start doing that more and stop obsessing about my pace and time.
