I've had a tough past 3 weeks, and my milage has almost been non-existant. So, today's race, i wanted to just run a 23:00 for 4 miles, which is 5:45 per mile. I started off under control, roling through the first mile in 5:35, and covering mile 2 in 5:31. At this point, i was on pace eclipse my 4 mile PR by 10 seconds. But, mile 3 totally killed me (It is almost completely uphill) and i clocked a 6:14. I did, however, pull it together, and mustered a 5:39 for the final mile, finishing in a time of 22:59 and taking 13th place. This was good enough to earn me 2nd place in my age group. Hopefully this will jumpstart my running, and help me shake off this funk.
