Work is eating my lunch. Worked 65 hours last week and its headed that way this week. I just haven't had time to run. This one however is at work. So really this run didn't take time away from work. Anyway, there is a celebration every year here at the Developmental Center where there is a parade, BBQ, booths, etc. This is the first year there has been a 5k. I came into this with no runs for almost 2 weeks and no speed work for months. I wanted to see were my fitness and speed is. I'm pretty pleased. My last 5k was last November and I'd been doing speed work and running regularly. My pace there was under 7:30 and today it was 7:35. Not far off. I was 2 minutes off the leader and 2 1/2 minutes ahead of 3rd place so my place was pretty secured. There were probably 50 or so participants but many were pushing wheelchairs or walking with someone with a disability. Anyway, it was a good time. I'm hoping that work will slow down a little sometime in the next month so I can start running again. |
