chumps

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Ran the Healthy Kids, Healthy Weight 5k with Leanne and Farkas. Ran a little over 2 to the start at Wade Oval and met the others there. It wasn't hot, just pretty humid. I wasn't sure if I was going to really race it or tempo or what. Before it started, Leanne goes 'ok. here's the plan. let's just win. I mean, look at all these chumps. None of these girls are faster than us.' So, then that was the plan. Leanne won, I got second. We were thinking we'd shoot for 7 minute pace, but came through the first mile in 6:38. I think we held that pretty well for the second, but dropped off on the last mile. I fell off from Leanne a little before 2 miles. She finished in 21:25, so not too far ahead. Still, I was happy with it. Haven't run any faster than like 7:20 pace since...outdoor conference. So, a while ago. Ran a little afterwards, waited for awards, then walked back.

I think I will maybe drop my mileage a little this coming week. I'll see how that feels shin-wise.
