Let’s see the last 5K I participated in was the Music City July 4th 5K/10K. Not a bad race at all. The race was downtown and as most of you might know it’s not the flattest part of town. If I am not mistaken we started off on 4th Avenue and headed to the Shelby Street Bridge. It was weird but the 1st mile was the hardest. After the 1st mile I was into a good groove of walking and running. I was never really sure of my pace, but I figured I was doing well. Mile 2 went over the Woodland Street Bridge which I had to walk up and over. I tried to jog over it, but my legs were not having it. There was a nice bit of walking and running from the bridge to Broadway. Once I hit Broadway I jogged the rest of the way to the finish line. I figured since it was downhill, I might as well let gravity take help me the rest of the way. As I rounded the corner onto 4th Avenue and saw the finish line I cranked it up a notch, well half a notch. I pushed through the finish line. I probably ran more in this race then the other 5Ks combined and I think my legs felt the same way.
Time: 52:55
Pace: 17:05
I think this might have been one of my best race times.
