This morning I ran the Royal 5k. I have a love/hate relationship with races that are more "local". It's so nice to not have a long drive and to worry about what Nate and the kids will be doing while I race, but there's a lot more people I know that makes me nervous. The race didn't start until 10am and it was so hot already. I don't usually take water in a 5k, but I did today. The last part of the race was terrible. It was 2+ laps on a gravel track that was just over a mile of the race. It was a bad surface and no shade. It was fun to get to see Nate and the kids while I was running through there. I don't usually get to see them until the very end...it was encouraging to see them so much. I ended up finishing with a PR for the second week in a row...my time was 25:32! I was second in my age group which I am not disappointed with at all. Two more 5k's this month and then a break through July to concentrate on marathon training! :)
waiting for momma to finish running
waving to my favorite "fans" only 1 more lap to go!
