Ran the Main street mile today. Showed up to the start and didn't see much competition except for a high school kid I had beaten earlier this year in the USG 5 k. Ran this race 5 years ago in 4:35 with about 40+ a week for mileage. Right now I'm lucky to get 30 a week. Gun went off and it was me and the high schooler from start to finish. I got a little over zealous and took it out a little to hard from the start. I thought I lost the high schooler but he passed me with about .25 left. I was so gassed I couldn't even keep up. Crossed the mile mark at 4:30 which I was very pleasantly surprised about considering the lack of speed and miles. Fun little race. Hope to continue to improve. |
