Did great on my second ever 5K race!!! My goal was to do the race in less than 30:00 because I ran my first race at 30:18. My unofficial time on today's race was 25:52!!! I can't believe it. I just found someone to run behind who was doing a pace I thought I could do. The pace was a bit challenging and at one point I was lamenting that I thought this race was way harder than my first one. I didn't know I was running that fast. At one point, I thought of walking and I did a bit of a half-step and I then cussed myself out for even trying to walk. I thought that there was no way I was even close to breaking the 30:00. That's why I kept pushing myself.
My unofficial race stats:
Race time: 25:52
MPH: 7.2
Pace: 8:19
The only problem with today's run is that it was a sunny beautiful spring morning -- and afterwards my allergies kicked in big time. I've been sneezing, sniffing and coughing all day. I've finally had enough and took some benadryl. I'm going to fall asleep very soon and I'm going to sleep all night.
