Did I ever tell you how much I dislike running 5k races?
Now that that's out of the way... I ran a 4 second PR! The funny thing is, I didn’t realize it until
hours later at home when I sat down to write this blog post.
It was a beautiful night for a race! Cooler temperatures, not much humidity, and
only a slight breeze. I may not like 5k
races but boy do I love running in Osterville!
The last week or so I hadn’t been running as much. Visitors last weekend and just overall
fatigue kept me off the roads and I had a lot of time before the 6pm start to
try to talk myself out of going. I mean,
come on I still haven’t seen Jurassic World yet and my parents were hanging out
at my house with the pup.

Overall my race went well. I
didn’t really push myself and tried to stay
as relaxed as possible. Most of the race
I was running alone. I picked off about
a dozen girls in the beginning and before the half mile mark, I positioned
myself in second place about 15 seconds behind the leader and stayed that way
until I crossed the finish in 20:45.
There were people cheering me on to the finish line and I saw some familiar
faces, which was really nice. Congrats to Beth! She beat her goal time looking strong and speedy at the finish!
Up next: Falmouth Road Race on Sunday, August 16
