How did I feel? Good!
Pre-Run Ruminations: As I was preparing to register for the race, and noted its location, it occurred to me that I had run a race on the same course previously. Actually, it was three years to the day, in an evening run called the Fish & Loaves 5k which had been organized by a friend of my wife. Wa-a-a-ay back then I had completed the course in a (Now to me at least) stunning 19:49, with a pace of 6:23 min/mile!This morning, three years later, I am anticipating being a little humbled and hoping for a marginally respectable of a time be determined when I cross the finish line, hopefully with a smile on my face.
Post-Race Reflections: For my first 5k in over a year, I felt that my performance in the 2010 Peter Cannon Memorial 5k went pretty well, especially given it was one day removed from a long run. Somecontributing factors were the idyllic weather, wonderful scenery and supportive comraraderie (and the fact that my daughter and her boyfriend ran as well); I couldn't think of many more pleasant ways to spend a small part of my Sunday morning.
Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
