I can’t believe how time has flown by, and it’s already May! Lots of fun racing already this year, though it hasn’t felt like it. I have been having a lot more fun with racing this year, for one, because I finally am healthy and feel like ‘myself’ again.
However, things got off to somewhat of a rough start in March. After a winter run focus (after back burner-ing the run for years.. YEARS) I was excited to see what I had in the barn for the Publix half. I really thought I could PR (sub 1:28) and turn in a 1:26 or 7. Two weeks prior, I had done the Chattahoochee Road Runners 5k as a workout, really not rested at all, and turned in an 18:53, which is a 1″ PR. I really hadn’t known a PR was on the table, if I had I would have rested a bit more to Really go for something more than a second. Anyway, point being my hopes were up. You can probably see where this is going already. (more…)
