Today was the 5K race for our Elementary School and a good chance to see where I am at. My goal going into today was to be under 25 min. I ran over to the school and then cheered my girls in the 1 mile and the ran back home afterwards. The weather was perfect minus the 15 mph wind.
The Good: I finished as the first overall female finisher which has never happened before and if the course had been accurate, I would have been under 25 min. I stayed strong and felt good most of the race. Even though the course was short, it is challenging and I like that. The Bad: The course was short. They have a certified course and what we ran today was different from the course map I received from the race director. The certified course is accurate and more difficult than what we ran today but 25 min would have been doable. I am bummed that it was short but it was a small race and these things happen. The Fun: Saskia and Erica both ran their first races ever and did great! I am so excited for them! Izzie and Libby ran the 1 mile fun run and did great! It was nice to get back out and "race" again but I also remembered why I do not like it. My nerves still get the best of me.
Back out for some easy miles with Delaney & Saskia - very nice night.
