Morning

Well....I'm sore. I know it really isn't surprising considering all the activity from yesterday. The 5k was a success because I pr'd on my time.  It was a hard run for me though. The entire run I never felt like I could get in my "zone." Which is frustrating. I typically get lost in the music and think about other things while in running. I think I put so much pressure on myself to try and get my time down that I continued to worry about whether my pace was good enough to beat the time from my previous race.  I had no concept of what my pace was because I changed my playlist and didn't keep track of my songs.   When I came around the corner and saw what time was up on the clock I ran as fast as I could to beat my time, which I did.  I was so happy at the end because I also realized that I beat my time from the first 5k that I ever did 3 years ago.

The course from yesterday was not the easiest, it was hilly. I am hoping that running a course like this will only help me strengthen my time and prepare me for further races!!!  On a super happy note I was a 1st place non top three placer!!
