Notes
This was my first race in about 4 months. I haven't been doing much speed training, the training I have been doing has been for my marathons in the summer. I didn't PR but it felt really nice to race a 5k again. I came in 1st place and won a $100.00 gift card to a running store. I'm hoping that this will be the motivator I need to kick start my training to the max. The plan for this race was to try and run a sub 18 and I really thought I could after the first mile but my speed dipped a lot the last 2 miles. I lead for the majority of the race and didn't look back after I took the first lead. I waited behind these two young kids in the beginning but as many people do they started to fast and that's when I made my move to the front and led the rest of the way. It was a fun experience as it always is, hopefully I can PR in a 5k later this year.
