i ran the wilma rudolph 5 and 10ks this past saturday. unfortunately i did not beat my brother in either. i think both times were slightly faster than last years times but barely. i felt pretty good in both. for some reason they did not post my 5k time, luckily i timed it myself. their time would not have been accurate anyway, since they started the race about 4 minutes early, while i was still in the bathroom. i got to the starting line about 2 minutes after the race started and had to fight a lot of traffic-both walkers and cars.
i ran yesterday-5 miles. it was a tough 5. i was running on a road my brother told me was level. he didn't even say pretty level, just level. after running on a treadmill all winter, it was not even pretty level. it seemed like all hill, mostly uphill. when i started, my calves were really tight. they loosened up about 1.5 miles in. about mile 3.5 i felt pretty good, then my feet started really hurting. i had to slow and walk for .2 of a mile then i picked it back up again and ran the last mile.
splits:
.5= 4.41
1= 9.23 4.42
1.5= 14.12 4.49
2= 19.15 5.03
2.5= 24.19 5.03
3= 29.44 5.24
3.5= 34.58 5.14
4= 41.13 6.14
4.5= 47.56 6.43
5= 54.04 6.07
this is a little rushed, trying to get it done over lunch, along with many other things, so i really don't have time to give a quote today.
