I decided at the last second to hop into the battle of the boulevards race in Arlington today. This turned out to be a major mistake on my part as I realized how out of shape I really am. I think I ended up running in the mid 34s(10k), which is an awful time for a workout for me.
I knew the course was going to out downhill and then turn around and come straight back up, so I attempted to go out at a tempo effort and then crush it up the hill. Well I went out at tempo effort, but I just didnt have it today and I ended up crashing big time. My last 5k was in the 18s.
I guess I needed a day like today to see that its time to train and get my ass into respectable shape.
