I ended up spending last night in SG at my parents so i decided to get up and run the Swiss days 5k. i knew there would be some good competition there but didn't really know what to expect from myself but figured i would find out. Dave Smith and i were warming up together east of the start line. we almost missed the start. needless to say i was good and warmed up because were almost at race pace trying to get there. mile 1 5:37 Dave was just ahead of me. mike schramm was running with me mile 2 5:30 mike quickly move up to Dave. i hung back a little just keep up my pace. mile 3 5:34 kept my distance until about .35 to go, then i started to close the gap and i was feeling good. with .25 to go i remember thinking 400M to go " i can put the hammer down" i moved past Dave and then mike and never looked back. i sensed that they didn't have much left cause they didn't challenge me. this race seemed to go by so fast and i felt so strong the whole race. i am glad that i ran it. it was just what the body and mind needed. looking forward to SGM. |
