Another race is in the bag for 2017. That was #15. I’m on course to hit
my 40 by 40 goal.
The race was nothing to write home about. I only had 2 miles in me and
mile 3 I just tanked. It didn’t help that the start of mile 3 is a long hill
and as I’ve complained about numerous times I hate running uphill. I need to
seriously train on hills. I always say I’m going to do a hill work out but then
go on my usually flat route. Ha! Mile 1 was great if you consider my times
lately. It was 12:18. I thought maybe I could do as good as I did at Donut Dash
three weeks ago. Mile 2 made sure that didn’t happen when I finished it just
under 13 minutes. Mile 3 was a death march. LOL! I barely got it under 15
minutes. What the heck is wrong with me?
The weather was a factor. It was very warm (75 degrees at start) and a
bit humid. I need to get used to this heat again. I thought last week’s 20KM in
90 degrees would have helped me but nope.
My time was 41:00 which is embarrassingly slow. I ran a long run on
Sunday that was almost faster than that. Granted my long run only lasted about
4 miles before I called it quits and walked 2 miles home. I need to get out of
this training funk!
