This morning was the Martha Jefferson 8K run. As my last post states, I didn't really train for it this year and I knew my time was going to suffer. That being said, my time was around 53 minutes. That is about a 10:39 pace. This is all conjecture because I didn't stop my watch until 55 minutes at which point I was just out of the shoot (walking area to hand over our number).
The good:
- It wasn't raining this year!
- I spent most of the race chatting and running with a friend.
- I was part of the awesome PQA team.
- The t-shirt fits better than last year's.
The bad:
- I had to walk multiple times because I just wasn't in good enough shape.
- It was kinda chilly out (40ish degrees).
The ugly:
- My time last year was 45:41 thus I was about 8 minutes slower this year.
- Did I mention the walking thing?
Overall, I'm glad I did it. It really felt good to cross the finish line so I'm now again motivated to start training. I still don't think I'll do the 10 miler in 3 weeks, but definitely start working towards the triathlons again.
