Notes
Sully Freedom Fun Run 5k --> 1st place, 15:53.9 officially
4:57.99, 5:07.96, 5:17.05
Ouch. This was a rough one. Going in I thought 15:15-15:30 would be a realistic time given the heat and my current fitness. I got out in just under 5:00 and it seemed to feel pretty easy. When I started slowing down I'd try to pick it back up to maintain pace, usually I'm able to do that well during 5k's, but I just had nothing today. Died a slow death and was just barely hanging on the last mile. If Sam Hall would have been running all out he would have blasted me today I think, but I also might have run a little more conservatively and raced smarter too which probably would have made a big difference.
It in the mid 70s and super humid so that probably had something to do with it, but still I shouldn't have run this slow. Left glute/hip/lower back still a bit tight from lifting the other night. I had a massage with Jake yesterday and he found a pretty good knot it my left back just above my waist line. He worked it pretty good, but its definitely still there and affecting my running a little bit I think
