It was sunny and warm (well 40s is warm for Michigan), and even though I had to pee the whole time, I beat my expectations!
So by the end of the year I plan to run a half-marathon, so today I race a 5k race, probably my 6th in the last 4 years. This year I am having a change in nutrition and fitness. I trained well in the race and not once did I feel the need to walk or take it easy. In Ann Arbor there are numerous hills especially a killer at the first half mile and at the very end of the race, but I pushed through. Ended up getting a 25:29.2 which is outstanding for me and possibly a personal best, I was hoping for a sub-26 but didn't actually know if I would.
It was a great feeling and an excellent way to start of this racing year!
