Notes
Well, a fun experience tonight regardless. I didn't really have any huge goals coming into this, since I haven't been doing any actual "workouts" and have just stuck to strong aerobic runs. Haven't broken a 4:57 mile in over half a year and my first mile was 4:48 so at least that's a start. It started to rain a bit during the race which actually felt nice, and aside from the wind gusts on the homestretch it was a nice day to race. I don't know why times were so slow...maybe a combination of humidity, heat, and wind? Whatever, other guys ran fast so no excuses with that. Aerobically I felt great which was nice but my legs felt like trash and got stuck into a pace rut...but again that's what happens when you don't do any workouts. I'm excited to do this again next week, it was a good race shock to the system and I know I can definitely take time off of this. In no means is this an indication of my fitness, but hopefully the races in the upcoming future prove to show better results. Regardless, the start of my summer road racing season was today and it was a fun time!
