Notes
Couldn't have asked for a much better night to run. Was slightly humid, but nothing to complain about. Was feeling pretty tired heading into this, and legs were heavy throughout.
First mile went well, and I was at 6:45 crossing the marker. The second mile was long according to mine (and other) GPSs, so I don't know what the story was. I guess they rerouted the course a couple days ago to account for construction, so I'm not sure if there was an effect there or not.
Anyway, I was dying pretty bad by the end of the second mile, and was just hanging on for the last mile. Had not much of anything left at the end. Ran pretty much what I had thought I would. I told Marty before the race I would be happy if I broke 23:30, and I did break that for the 5k portion. Still, I would really like to see that pace drop below the 7:00 mark again. I guess that will come with time.
(Left) Calf was bothering me at the end of the race again. I'm just a master of lingering injuries. Hope it goes away. At least my knees and feet have been good lately.
Not a terrible first (recent) race effort.
