Race: Make My Day 5k

First race of the year in the books. This one is always a milestone run.

Ran the Make My Day 5k, instead of the yearly 12k at this point. I feel a lot better than a I did this time last year after this race. It’s kind of my wake up test. I’m not nearly as dead and actually ran this one. Really haven’t run actual trails since last summer, so it was really tough, plus it was 30 degrees and freeeeezing this morning.

3.36 miles in 45:11 – not the best but not the worst.

Race: 5k

Ran a 5k here in Columbia with the boys. We finished in about 37 minutes. Pretty good for the first race of the year for the crew. Very Happy!

Make My Day 12k

Ran the Make My Day 12k again this year. This is my second time hitting the race. Very familiar trails at Harbison Forrest. I didn’t do too well, poor prep and ramp up to the race. Had to walk several times and generally i’m not happy about the performance. But I did finish this race faster than last year. Got a PR for a 10k time.
