Run
Comments: Didn't expect much a got it. Wanted to hold a 8:30 pace and got pretty close. Started out with Tam, Kam, Ken. Lost K & K around a mile and quarter then Tam at 2 miles. No prob running my own race. Hit the three mile lap and it 10 minutes. I think I found the extra 2/10 of a mile. Fun coming through the village as there was a parade after the run, so the street is lined with people and some cheer ya on. Pushed hard the last mile and it felt good. Decided that as public service I would my pace at the finish line to allow people the fun os passing someone at the last stretch. What would you do differently?: Lose some weight I'm up a few pounds. Post race
Warm down: Got some water and stood with Kam, Ken, Tam, and Ron. What limited your ability to perform faster: Hucking an extra 30 pounds up hill. Event comments: Mile 3 was wondering what the hell am I doing this Y is home snuggled in bed, then 10 minutes after the race I was thinking man that felt good. I get so confused. Good to get to run with some of the gang. Last updated: 2009-07-04 12:00 AM
