Didn't stick with my training schedule as well as I should've, making the jump from my first couple 5Ks to this 8K, so my body was aching towards the end. Aerobic capacity was fine the whole time. Took a couple very short walk breaks during the last 2 miles, but those ended up hurting (literally) more than they helped, I think.

Trained better for the distance.

Walking, stretching, waiting for the luau to start!


8K started about 30 minutes late- not sure why. It was a small race so there weren't a lot of people around me towards the end, and no one out cheering along the course other than the volunteers- which is fine a guess, but it just felt kind of lonely out there. I think I'll do the half if they do this again next year.
