For the effort I put into the race I'm okay with the outcome. The first 3 miles or so I really wasn't racing at all..in fact I told myself this is just a training run. I wasn't feeling good..my legs were so sore and the rest of me felt off. After I got to the top of 'cardiac climb' I was like okay..I'm not even out of breathe. Maybe I could try a little harder. Well it was almost mile 5 when I decided this in fact was a race and I was starting to feel better. SO I kicked it in and had a strong finish. I don't feel regreat for not really pushing myself in the beginning because I think I was doing all I could. This was my 2nd run in two weeks on really sore legs. Not too bad. Besides for not trying and this being my 2nd fastest 10k time I have to feel pretty good about that.

Race.

Walked/Ran back to my house which is about 1.5 to 2 miles from the Park. Then walked from the Park up to 10th and Peachtree to have some after race drinks. Note to self..maybe eat something before getting tipsy at 9:30 AM.


My legs were really sore (to the touch) before the race. Probably shouldn't have ran as hard as I did on Monday but I was just so excited to be running again. Those excuses aside..I did what I could on that day. I could have pushed harder and really raced and put forth the effort I know I'm capable of..I just didn't.


As always this race is just fun. The crowd support is amazing and really makes this an excellent race. Being on the fourth most people are in good spirits and are there to really have a good time..it's not as serious as other races.
