Today was Race #1 of my 2015 race season ~ and I was nervous & anxious. Fell right to sleep around 9:55 and at one point I woke up & the first thought I had was, "oh good, I slept" and then I looked at the clock. 10:45. HA! I eventually did sleep, but I was tossing and turning and trying to decide what to wear.
Woke up and asked myself what I'd wear if I were just going for a training run ~ so I put on the capris and long sleeve shirt. Good choice for the 40* to 50* temperatures. The weather was PERFECT ~ sunny and very little wind.
I started off faster than 8:40 ~ but not too fast {I'd love to see my splits...but my Garmin Connect is being very weird.} I had enough to push at the last 1.5 miles & I felt strong at the finish.
I am extremely pleased with my time & IF I can maintain this pace for 6 more miles... I felt good and I had a great run. It was fun & I placed second in my age group {stupid 45 year old took first by a LONG time {18 minutes ahead of me}
