I ran in my second 5k this morning out at Lake Mead. We ran on the former train track trail they used to build the dam. It was fairly rocky and the first 1.5 was up hill while the 2nd half was back down the hill. My goal was to be faster than my first 5k of 25:29 but my real goal was 7:30 pace.
It's amazing what goals do to the mind. I ran my 5k this morning in 23:19 which is exactly 7:30 pace.
The funny part is my watch lost GPS signal in the first tunnel so it was all by feel after that. I did find my pace before losing signal which is huge. I have to say the last mile was brutal. Since I started out so fast this time, I didn't have many to race until the last .5 when I had a 12 year old kid? come up and pass me. I then chased him to the finish line.
I knocked off over 2 minutes from last fall which was an easier run. I'm pretty stoked.
