Running race 18:03 [4] 5.0 km (3:37 / km)
shoes: Orange Sauconys
4th of July run through Avery Park. I only found out about it yesterday afternoon, but it was a fun race and I got a new PR.
I haven't done any speed work lately and was only hoping to break twenty minutes. I was worried that I started too fast when only 5 guys were ahead of me. Sure enough, a few more passed me soon. But I realized that all the "punishing" hill runs had been more intense and I could easily recover. I found a steady pace and was suprised not to lose more ground - I was also suprised to reach the 1/2 point in 9 minutes. I still felt strong, and finished the race at the same pace, catching a couple guys along the way.
