Nice day for it. I had a quilter friend coming over for me to demonstrate how to sew on a binding, so I got in a hurry near the end. The 5th mile was probably my best one mile time in ages. I figured out I can take a bit longer strides and it improves my time. I am doing a 8k race next Saturday. My only goal is to do it in under an hour.

Nice! You need to pretend you're in a hurry more often! You'll definitely do it in under an hour. It will be fun. I think 8k is the perfect distance for me. I don't think I've ever seen an 8k race in our area, though. I'm on a marathon relay team in May, and we each will do 5 miles and then run the last 1.2 as a team. I'm totally looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first 8k I've heard of in our area. I would LOVE to do a marathon relay like you described. I don't think I'd ever run a whole marathon myself but it would be so awesome to get to experience it like you are going to!
