Comments: My splits are as follows: Mile 1 - 6:59 Mile 2 - 7:36 Mile 3 - 7:50 Overall Female: 36/589 What would you do differently?: Not get sick! I don't know though, I did PR. I do wish I could have gotten rid of about 10 seconds so I would have made it under 23 minutes. But, I have gotten faster. I am able to hit under 24 minutes in a 5k consistantly. This is faster than my 5k time from last year. Post race
Warm down: Hung out and watched Bree come across the line at 28 something and Matt come across at 29:05. Then we met up with Greg (Bree's husband) and went to IHOP to get our grub on! What limited your ability to perform faster: Just me...as usual. But hey, I did PR! Event comments: It was a fun race. I am ready for cooler weather and the long SLOW distance of the marathon...instead of this fast running. THis is the last 5k of the Grand Prix series. Next is a 10k! Last updated: 2009-06-07 12:00 AM

Backtrack to Monday:
I was sick with a stomach bug. Not pretty. I ran lightly on Tuesday and Wednesday, but could still tell that I was feeling weak. Not bad, but weak. I have been just hurting all over. So Friday, I took a day off and rested. I slept most of the day but was still very tired when I went to bed at 2100.
Got up at 0500 and ate a PB&J. Drank coffee and spent some time with the Lord. I was feeling rather calm at this point. Bree got to the house a little after 0600 and we drove to the race. I really was feeling calm, but my stomach was upset.
We parked at Latta Park and I was able to use the bathroom for the last time. My stomach was still not doing well, but I knew that this course was not as hilly as the others I have run. So I was calm. Everything was sureal. I felt like I was watching myself walk to the starting line. I felt like I was watching myself line up and wait. I hate the waiting. It only makes my stomach churn more as I look over the crowd and wonder who is in my AG that I needed to be able to outrun.
