Wow a 5k is tougher than I thought! I think I like the longer distances better. Met Dustin and some others for a warmup, ran the course. Very very flat, very honest! Saw Erica at the start and she is speedy speedy so I knew my shot of 1st was out the window.
1. 6:14 (had a hard time getting my breathing in sync)
2. 6:15 (feeling better here and in a groove)
3. 6:26 (ughhh seriousley thought i was going to throwup here, get passed by cross country girl, try so hard to stick with her but cant)
.1 55 sec (6:42 pace) I didnt realize how much I slowed down here, that hurt my time alot!
Overall felt decent and my race that matters is next week so today was some good speedwork, polishing. Chatted with a lot of people after the race, that was so much fun. Tons of girls in my ward ran and their kids so that was fun to see them all and we even a got a ward picture. Talked for awhile to Erica and her husband after the race, she is so awesome and fun to talk to and gave me some good advice for SG (she ran 2:54 last year). Very very nice people. Ran a cool down with Bull back on the course. Had a great time today! So excited for next week, I can hardly wait and my foot felt good today, could not feel the blister on the race but after it was a little sore, will be just fine by marathon day. Now off to my massage with April, whoo hooo! Hopefully I will make it easier for her today since I have had no issues with my hamstrings, quads, or calves lately (knock on wood!)
