I just finished my fifth 100+ mile week in a row but got to have two easy days the past two days so I could run the all comer's 5k today. We thought we might be able to get my PR since I was so close last time but I was a little off, but still ran 18:59, my fifth best ever. I am fairly certain I did run 18:59 and not 19:00 like Jim thought because I looked at the clock right when I was flying through the finish line and I swear that's what it said, not just what I wanted it to say. I'm worried though because I lost 10 seconds somewhere in the last few laps. I was quite surprised when I came around the last time and I was going to barely break it if at all, I thought I had been doing about the same as last time from. Was I delusional and saw the time not as it was or did I really just loose that many seconds in only a few laps? I was probably delusional! Right!
I have a new teammate to run with sometimes, Jessica, who just moved here with her family from Oklahoma. Her family is all into running, her dad just having completed a 100 mile race and they all turned out to the all comer's meet. Her younger brother and sister doing throwing, jumping and shorter running events and her dad and her also running the 5k. It's fun to have someone to run with sometimes even if she runs a lot less than the 20 and 30 mile runs I have to do. Someday...
