I Won the Hot to Trot 5K

Not the race but a door prize ($25 gift certificate to Run-Tex). As far as the race goes, I'm satisfied. I didn't get to bed 'til 3 last night because I had a gig, so even getting to the race itself was a challenge this morning. As it was the first race I've ran in I don't know how long, all I really cared about was not stopping. I got very slow at times but I did meet this goal. Once I saw my mile split of around 10:30 however I realized I was gonna be pissed if I didn't finish under 30 minutes, which would've only happened if I stopped running. This is because the first mile was all uphill and the last two were downhill, and dodging the slower runners the first mile. I finished at 28:06, a 9 minute mile pace. It was harder than I thought it would be. I need to start running longer and slower on my regular runs.

I ate and crashed for a nap when I got home. I guess the nap turned into something longer, like the second half of a normal night's sleep. Because now it is 9 PM and I am slowly waking up. I had planned on going to a birthday party tonight but am not really feeling up to it so I think I'll just chill at home.
