Trotting it Away

well i just realized i never updated about my amazing turkey trot race!  

my times were pretty amazing, but what actually went down just really wasn't lol

so however the announcer was for the races, i think he needs a lessons on how to announce race starts lol.  and i quote him "the first race starts in 3-2-1-*beep* horn"  he forgot to mention which race this was....

about a 1/2 mile in i start to wonder if i'm in the right race since i'm at the very front of the pack still. about a 1 mile, i know for damn sure i'm in the 5K not the 10K lol

and yes i was extremely pissed the whole 5K, wasn't able to enjoy the race, only because i knew my time chip now wouldn't work for the 10K.  i run for the competition and the medal lol. i'm now realizing it's a good thing i'm training for a half marathon, because if i know i'm going to medal, then i need a harder challenge.

yeah because i need more right?

*side note*

10K's will now be my races to help with my speed, and half marathons will be for the distances, one day i'll be running like this girl  runscootsrun.

but as i got more and more into the 10K i started to enjoy, chum chum probably couldn't tell since i was dead tired lol

once we were done and walking to car, that is when i felt the pain.  i've never had soreness set in so quickly lol.  we had to stop so a car could go by, and my legs almost gave in lol

here are my mile splits:

mile 1  -  7:32

mile 2  -  8:16

mile 3  -  8:27

mile 4  -  8:36

mile 5  -  8:23

mile 6  -  8:37

mile 7  -  8:28

mile 8  -  8:40

mile 9.42  -  12:36

total  -  1:19:35

avg mile  -  8:26

i was very happy with the results but in the beginning was kinda upset about running the 5K and the 10K, only because i wasn't mentally prepared to run almost 9 1/2 miles for speed lol

i'm hoping next year i'm running this up where chum chum lives :)
