2010 Red Rooster Ramble 5 Miler, Week 11

Warren, RI

34:22
6:53 pace
7th place

I definitely lost some time each mile I ran tonight, starting around 6:45, and running mile 4 at 7:00.  I've had a hard week, starting with a 5k, running a good workout last night, an easy 4 miles recovery this morning, and opting in for a 5 mile race an hour before the start.  But I still don't feel strong and fast on my feet.  I'm gradually adding mileage recently, and feeling healthy overall, but still not great.

The weather was hot, humid, almost dank.  But a warm dank.  I skipped the water stops, because I didn't want to lose time in such a short race, and I think it's safe to say I lost a few pounds by the end.  Post race included a beer and pizza, prime recovery fuel.

This series runs every week, and it's close to home, so I'll be back on the course, hopefully posting faster times along the way.
