I have not raced in AGES. I wasn't planning on racing but it was super fun! 2 mile warm up, strides and begin. We started at the U law school and ran around campus. I started a little slow (which usually doesn't happen to me) but was able to pick it up a bit the last 2 miles. I wasn't super fast and finished feeling like it was a threshold run, not quite in the racing zone. But that's ok- it's been a loooong time. I had fun racing. And had a huge PR in this race from the last time I raced it (5 years ago I ran it in 36 minutes-ha) I only had time for a short cooldown before going to work. Later, I tried to run again but I really felt like crap and decided it wasn't worth it. So this week is only 65 instead of 70.
