Leesburg 10k

I ran the Leesburg 10k this morning after 4 solid days of running easy and still feeling like crap on everyday. The crappy feeling carried on into the first mile and a half and fortunately for me it disappeared after that.
I ran 5:14 for the first mile and felt awful, I didnt feel smooth or comfortable at that slow pace. After that we started going uphill and I ended up feeling better. My next few splits were 5:09, 5:14, and 5:09. I felt really good for these miles; at some points it felt almost like I was doing a tempo because I was running extremely relaxed but still pushing. We started going down hill in the middle of the last mile and I get the intensity up which led me to hitting 4:55 for both of the next 2 miles.
I ended up getting broke in the last mile, but the race still turned out to be a great confidence booster. My overall time was 31:45 and I am pleased with that.

Mileage for the week - 51
