First 3 mile fun run . . .

. . . as if a 3 mile race could ever be fun! So much pain in such a short time! Nevertheless, I had a good race. My time was respectable (22:20 or so - have to wait for official results) but not my best. I had been feeling a little weird all day in terms of my appetite. I didn't feel hungry in the afternoon. I didn't feel hungry until I got into my car to drive to the race. By the time the race started, I was numb and ravenous. So, given that constraint on my energy, I did pretty well. I was tied for first (woman) for most of the race but my co-runner pulled ahead in the last half mile and finished 7-10 seconds ahead of me. I'm content with second place. Overall, it was a great experience. The running club that puts on these races is awesome. They have these races every Thursday, all summer for FREE!!! Me eat now.
