Mock 5K

It is the one year anniversary of my First 5K Race! I was hoping to run the same race this year, but logistics today do not permit it. So I decided to run my own Mock 5K today. And well, yay, I improved my time from last year by about 4 minutes, so at least I'm a little better than last year.

3.10 miles
35:49 (11:33/mile)
Gorgeous day - Temp.:59, Humid.:58%

But what I am most happy today is meeting my goal of negative splits. I felt the gag reflex in the last mile a few times, but held it together. Here's how it went down:

Mile 1 - 12:26
Mile 2 - 11:20
Mile 3 - 11:07
Mile .1 - 55 sec. (7:01 min/mile!)

Off to the Jersey Shore for a few days. We'll see about the 5 mile race tomorrow.

What a great idea to hold a "mock" race to measure how far you've come. And look how far it is for you!
