I didn't know how I would run at Park Run today. One thing was for sure, I was going to get wet. It is peeing down as I head for the start. Despite the rain, it is not to muddy because of the drought.
I start off well and feel good. I've been doing a little strength training, and so feel I am holding myself better. This I maintain until suddenly the 22 minute pacer comes sailing past. I am convinced I am way ahead of this pace and I am outraged. How dare he run it so fast? After this my morale dies and I struggle home.
I have a battle with a female runner down the Norman Park Straight. Towards the finish I am able to put together a sprint and drop her. I cross the line and jab the watch. 22:35. Given how well the first 3/4 went I am disappointed.
Once the run is over and I have a chat with some people from the club, I start to feel better. By mid-morning I feel terrific for the run.
5km 22:35.
