10k race in the morning. Chilly (37F) and windy. No one to push me and with a mile race later I took it easy. Race was a little long (6.4) and of course I forgot my watch so I have no idea what my splits were, but AP was 6:34.
Then raced home, grabbed girls and headed back to race for their obstacle run. Turk ran it twice and loved it. Q did about half and then was done. Still just a little too young and timid for it.
Then raced to soccer game. Coached the kids, sprinted back home, put Q down and came out of her room at 1:34. Mile race started at 1:40 so I jetted out the door. Drove over as fast ans safely as possible. Pulled up jumped out of car ran to the track and had about 30 seconds to rip off my warmups before the gun went off.
Gun fired and we were off- someone went down in the first 10 seconds so we had to restart.
Ran mile in 5:50- faster than I thought I would after the race this morning. First mile I have ever raced, I tucked behind a girl for the first 800 during the headwind. It went by really fast and I felt like I was just warming up and it was done. Fun to run though.
May will be a hard traininig month to whip me into marathon pace shape. Can't wait!!
