Comments:
Ran the local turkey trot. Felt awful warming up, I had about 5 hours of sleep. Did 3 miles on the warmup and some strides and felt allright and then the race was delayed 15 minutes. Tried not to get cold. The first mile was downhill and I was out in 5:05 and it felt like a joke. Second mile was 5:40 and linked up with a Cedarville kid who said he wanted to run in the 26's so i just decided to stick with him. The third mile had to be short, it had a turnaround where i stopped completely and I still ran "5:04" to hit 3 miles in 15:48. 4th mile was legit, 21:18 (5:30), the last mile was uphill and I ran 5:41 for it, which was a good effort. The Cedarville guy dropped me but I didn't give up and closed well. Final time was either 26:58 or 27:01. Happy with the effort, even though it was probably a little short. Helped my sisters finish for a 1 mile cooldown - not very good. Might shakeout for 3-4 miles tonight.
