I ran a five kilometer race tonight. It was tough, I haven't been training very rigorously since Minor left, but I had an okay outing despite this. The thing that hindered my performance the most was having to work the outage the night before, staying up until 4:30 am while getting only 4 and a half hours of sleep before a road race is not a good thing. I kept a good pace, but I did have the drive to push my self. After we maid the turn at 2 and a half kilometers I was feeling the fatigue. Still, I tried to stay with the pack that I was with. In my head I kept telling myself:
"That's your pack, stay with them." As we neared the finish line, I found myself looking for Maryna in the crowd.
My time was a little over 21 minutes even. I'm guessing that I came in around 32nd place - but I don't know for sure. Minor probably would have ran a 19 something on this day *grin* I was pleased that I
beat all the other runners from my company.
