I finally did it! Today’s 5k pushed me over the edge on my miles for the year…and I hit 300 miles! That’s since I began training for the half-marathon in January. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into those miles. Today’s 5k time also may have been a new PR for a 5k. When I ran my first one back in October it was 39:15. My 5k split time in the half-marathon was 37:22–I was pacing for 13.1 miles, not trying to bust out a record time. But today, I got on the treadmill and just ran! It was way too muggy at 6:30am for me to feel like a run outside could be conquered.
I’m attempting the great outdoors again tomorrow though! I miss the wind, sun and nature! Tonight, my work friends and I are going out for drinks and good times! (Although I don’t really drink!) Water is good!
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
