I have been busy, but not busy enough! I did the mini marathon (13.1 miles) on Saturday and redeemed myself from the past two years. I did not train specifically for the mini, but I had been running well and managed to get in a few long runs. Unfortunately, I didn't register so I had to race with my friend Greg's number. It was so nice of him to give me his number, so I tried myself to give him a good time:)
The race started out really well. I held back in the beginning (I've blown up near the end the past few years). I had a really slow mile 1 with all of the traffic, but made up for it on miles 2-5 averaging a 7:10-7:20 pace. I slowed down a little on 6-8, but regained my momentum all the way back in.
At the time, I was really excited about my time, but now I am kind of mad at myself because I should be a lot faster. It's time to focus on Kansas 70.3 on June 13. Until then, I have a few adventure races to keep me alive!
