Hi everyone,
I did my 7K fun race today. The weather was OK. The race was badly organised though. People were looking for their starting line as the marathoners started somewhere else then the 7, 14 and 21K and the 5K and kids run had their own starting line. There were no 1K markers for the shorter distances. Only 5K markers for the marathoners.
Anyway, I started way back in the field but I went out too fast again. There was this guy who ran with a baby jogger
So cool. I tried to go in a fast pace but one that I could keep up for the whole 7K. I tried to get closer to someone running ahead of me, but I couldn't do it. Well I focused on these blue shorts and white tee and started talking to myself: come to mama, I am reeling you in baby, come here I won't hurt you I just want you to come to me, etc.}( . And suddenly she came closer and closer. Once I passed her I said to myself: now push, push her away. Where is victim no. 2? I focused on these black shorts and white tee and I did it again. Until finally there was a very big hole between me and my last victim with an orange tee. I managed to get closer, but couldn't get close enough.
I finished in 46:39min. Nowhere near the 45 minutes I had as a goal, but way better then the 52:24 I ran last Monday for a 7.5K. I am pleased with myself. Can you tell ??
