Notes
This morning was the Saratoga 5k "fun" run. This is the fourth running of this race and this was also my fourth time running it. It was my first 5k 3 years ago. This is by far the hardest course I have ever run, and everyone I talk to agrees..... it is nothing but hills, and some big ones at that.
I went out too fast knowing what I had in store. The second mile always seems to be the hardest for me and it shows in the splits. I even took a couple walking steps on a couple of the hills which irritates me since I have not done that since the first time I ran this race 3 years ago, 45 lbs heavier.
I finished strong, but kinda disappointed I didn't even drop into the 23's where I really wanted to be. I guess I need to get more serious about speed work and dropping a few lbs.
