Woke up and ran the Health Days 5K. I really wanted to get first overall in womens because last year I got second and the year before I got fourth. Conner offered to pace me which is why he is one of the best older brothers ever. I was pretty nervous because I wanted to PR and place first. When it started I was planning to go slow, but I went faster than I had expected. We were going up the canyon and around mile 1 my calves started hurting, but I kept pushing it. When I got to the turn around point, my calves were burning, but I wanted to keep up with Conner. Down the hill felt pretty good, except for my calves. I didn't get a PR, but I still did win fisrt girl which made me really happy.
After awards and everybody began leaving, I ran home slowly because I needed to get my long run in. I took some detours to make it three more miles. When I got home I asked my dad if I could run with him to the parade. We ran four miles down their and I kept up with him pretty well because he wanted a certain average pace which was faster than I expected. I had a really fun running day because I just ran wherever I needed to go which was different, but a lot of fun. |
