I am super happy with my performance today. I did not really have any goals in mind but knew I wanted to get a good realistic gage for where my fitness is at. This is a very honest 10K course in my opinion and I think I ran a really good race. I started conservatively and ran about 30-35 seconds behind Jen and Sylvia slowly gaining on them each mile. I caught and passed Jen with about a half mile to go and just did not speed up soon enough to catch Sylvia and she finished 9 seconds ahead of me. She is a SUU runner who just graduated and it was really fun to meet her.
6:26, 6:10, 6:08, 6:08, 6:15, 6:07, 5:46 for .2 - I ran smart, had fun, and felt great!
I really love these small town races because I know so many people running and it is just fun and more laid back. I ran back for my sister and she ran a new 10K PR...woohoo! Also very excited to hear how well everyone did at Des News....I feel like I missed the official Utah Olympics!
Time to hit the track and take this short distance training serious. I'm stoked about it! |
