Notes
Hell yeah, PR. I still don't have racing the 5k down, but I am definitely getting faster and it feels good. As one of the fast dudes from PPTC said tonight, "more than most things in life, with running you get out what you put in". I have been putting in the time and it is paying off.
Some thoughts:
- Definitely took the middle mile too fast, I was dead on my feet in the last 800 yards with nothing left to give.
- I don't race enough so that when I do, I have no idea what I should be shooting for. The first mile felt easy in 7:00 so I dropped the hammer in the second mile thinking I was faster than I was and I paid and paid and paid in the third mile.Next time, I am going to take the first mile (up the hill) slow, then steady through the second so I have something in the tank for the third.
