Kemah Run

This past Saturday, my mom and I ran a 10K in Kemah, The Galloway Gallop. Well, my official time was 1:12:47. That sucks! That is 5 minutes slower than the 10K I ran in October. I blame it on my lack of "training" in the weeks leading up to the race, and also my impending cycle, which I started the very next day. So, that kind of lit a fire under my arse and in order to please myself, I went out to Memorial the next day to start the work. There is another race at the end of the month - The Rodeo Run - that I am going to sign up for. I really want to try to improve my 5K time and get that under or at least, AT 30 minutes. On Sunday, I made myself run the entire 3.10 miles at Memorial and actually tried to do some speed work. I made it around in 32 minutes. I would love to shave off those last 2 minutes. So I think I will sign up for the 5K instead of the 10K this time. Maybe this will allow me to better my 10K time in the next race. So, Monique, we get to run a 5K on the 27th! It'll be a breeze compared to the half-marathon!
