I ran the Yorktown Freedom Run 5k this morning and finished up with a 15:23 for 2nd place. Going into the race, I thought I had a pretty good shot at winning. I was still running side by side with the eventual winner going up the final hill with 800 to go and just didnt have it in the end.
The first mile I felt kind of queezy but that slowly went away as the race went on. I felt good but not as relaxed as I should have been. I ended up coming through in 4:52, a few seconds back of the guy who ended up getting 3rd. He ended up pulling away and I had almost given up on catching him. But I decided to really go after it the next mile and ended up running 9:40 for 2 miles. At this point I felt like I was running really quick and I knew unless the guy with me died I was going to have to settle for second. I ended up holding it together until we hit the final hill and that was the end of me.
Overall I am happy that I finally got to go out and hit some sub 5 miles and that was the plan going in. The next goal is to run some sub 5 minute miles for an 8k in a couple weeks.
