Run
Comments: My plan was to treat this as my long run for the week...and take NICE and EASY. Since I've been only running for about 10 days, I figured this would be a fun way to get back into running. Heck, this was my first "race" in nearly a year! Darn injuries! Well, once I toed the starting line things err... changed. First mile - 8:05 Second mile - 7:05 OOOOOPS! Third mile - 11 and change. Ha. I felt sooo good after the first mile that I tried to maintain that pace. I guess I got carried away. Ooops. Nice to know I can go that fast and not feel like I'm laboring however. Nice to "let it rip"! :) But darn, did I ever hit the wall on the third mile! Post race
Warm down: Gasping for air and cheering Lisa on! What limited your ability to perform faster: I haven't ran in like, forever? Event comments: I had a blast. Lisa is so cool! She bought me a smooth GUINNESS at the sponsoring Irish pub. We talked for an hour at the bar as we watched basketball and listened to live Irish music. Man, how I miss racing and competition. The buzz. Oh my. I'm such an endorphin addict. Knee is "ok". Calf is a bit tight. Hum. Last updated: 2006-03-12 12:00 AM
