I had very tough week re-entring from vacation and had decided to take a break from running, take care of work and family and just be re-energized the next week.   I had forgotten about this race and my husband has to cover it for work and said you stand a good chance of winning, so you might as well run.   

It was a pretty decent course, I am just not prepared to run a 5K.   I looked at my watch at 3.1 and it read 23:35 so 1:50 off my PR from earlier this year but on a tougher course.

Good: I stayed strong and didn't give up which has pretty much been the theme for the past year +.

Bad:  I have lost speed,

Overall, I had a good time, enjoyed myself which I am trying to do and maybe I will start running more 5ks....maybe.

 

PM:  4 mile easy run with Jenny, my favorite kind of run.
