Notes
I am a winner, even if I have no varsity letters to show for this year.
Its been a tough year for running for me with a handful of things that happened. Ah well. I went through the 5k in 17:55 and then came back and went through 8k in 28:36. Gives me hope for cross. Liz Lawton broke my 5k pr, but I went back and broke her 10k pr. I think given another month and having a better estimate of my fitness, if I had a month to really get my legs strong again, I could break 35, but that's for next year. This race I think was really important of giving me some confidence that this year was not a waste running wise. Indeed, we are not getting any younger.
My legs feel shot. I made the rookie mistake of starting the race with a rock in my spikes. My left knee feels kinda weird. My right and left quads are shot. Both calves are shot. ... Looks like back to the bikes with me...
This race roughly converts to a 16:38 5k or a 27:51 8k on a track.
