Today’s run: \u00a04 miles<\/p>\n
Today I ran just for the fun of it.<\/p>\n
At this moment, I am not in training for a particular race. \u00a0That will change in another week so I took advantage of a local 5K this morning! \u00a0How much fun!<\/p>\n
I thought that a 5K would be “easy” in that the distance would not be difficult. \u00a0I was wrong. \u00a0I am so used to slow and steady pace for my long distance races that I forgot about the intensity of these shorter races!<\/p>\n
Wow~3.1 miles can seem like a long, long way when you are running full tilt.<\/p>\n
To top it off~The course was long…by almost a half mile! \u00a0Yikes! \u00a0Insult to injury there. \u00a0That little 3.1 miles ended up much, much closer to 4 miles.<\/p>\n
My time for the 5K was 34.09 minutes. \u00a0Not too shabby for this ol’ gal. Considering that I am a self-recognized slow poke, I was moving at a pretty good clip for these short, stubby legs.<\/p>\n
It was a perfect day for running. \u00a050 F. \u00a0Sunny. \u00a0Light NW breeze. \u00a0Delightful!<\/p>\n
To those of you who regularly race the 5K distance, my hat is off to you. \u00a0That short burst of running all out is tough! \u00a0Give me a half marathon or a full any day of the week. \u00a0I can pace myself and enjoy a bit of the scenery along the way. \u00a0This was a challenge!<\/p>\n
I have one more week of just running for fun. \u00a0One more week of carefree jaunts around the block. \u00a0After that, duty calls and I begin training for my Ultra. \u00a050 miles, at this moment sounds a lot easier than that all out effort this morning.<\/p>\n
50 miles. \u00a0Wow. \u00a0Sounds unreal. \u00a0I can hardly wait!!!<\/p>\n
