Notes
Did a 5k race this morning with my family. Haven't been running at all so this was destined to go poorly, but it went better than I expected. Drew wanted to break 20 minutes so I paced him for the first 1.5 miles, then I got tired. We let everyone sprint ahead of us and stayed conservative at the start. He has a problem with pacing so I made him stay back at the start and we picked off people as we went. He said it was nice to pass people as he went. We started in 6-7, Drew finished 3rd overall and I was 5th. I was pretty tired the last mile of the race and wanted to walk, but I also wanted to beat this guy who was next to me. I could tell he was dying and struggling to hang on, so with 1200 to go I put in a surge and crushed him, I looked back and he started walking, then I just did what I could to not let anyone catch up to me. The course was long, 3.23 miles, so Drew didn't break 20 in the race, but he did in the first 5k of it. I'm pretty happy I can run that time off no training, and with a messed up stomach, hopefully I can get back to 100% this summer!
