Notes
Ran the Violet Festival 5k in Pickerington. It was fun. It's weird running a race, because it's been awhile, and it's been even longer since I ran a longer race like this. It felt pretty comfortable. I was breathing hard like 30 seconds into the race, but I think that was just a little bit of like jitters, because I haven't run hard like this in so long, because I settled in, and wasn't breathing hard again until at least the last half mile. And I don't think my breathing ever got too strained. I was expecting to be a lot more alone than I was. There were a couple kids with me until maybe 800 left, so that was nice. It made sure that I didn't just fall asleep and start running slow. If the mile markers they had were correct, I was through 2 miles in like 10:26, so my last mile was like 4:50. So that's good that I closed fast. But overall it felt pretty easy. I may try to run a 10k next weekend. I'm not sure yet.
Sleep: 6 hours (12:30-6:30) I wanted to get to bed earlier, but our family had people over pretty late, so I couldn't fall asleep.
