I had plenty of excuses not to have a very good race this morning....I ran 8 miles yesterday and then rode my bike 15 miles, I have ongoing GI issues, did not properly fuel or hydrate as a result...but still managed to improve my 5K time. My final time was 37:06.7 which makes my overall pace 11:58!!! That's an almost one minute improvement over my previous 5K last summer. Imagine what could be possible with well-rested legs! My next half is Sunday and this performance gives me a reason to celebrate with no excuses!!
