Moon in June - June 13th, 2015

Now that I had one post injury race under my belt, I have to admit I was getting my competitive spirit back. I was very happy with my run in May and of course, I wanted to run my next race faster :)
As soon as we finished the LeChocolat race, I registered for the Moon in June, 10 K.
This time around, our training schedule was a little different. There was 6 weeks in between races, so my running buddies and I decided to do a little speed work once a week at the local track. We did maintenance runs, long runs, cross training and speed work. Our speed work consisted of 400 meter intervals with 400 meter walks or slow jogs in between. They were tough workouts for sure!!! We were all unsure if the hard work was worth it or not...we questioned it a lot!
When we arrived on race day we found out the course had to be cut short because of flooding at the start/finish line.  It was only going to be 9.67 km instead of 10km.
I ran the first half of the race with no music, then around the 5km marker, I put my headphones in, cranked some tunes and pushed hard for the second half.
I was so happy with my time - 55:47 for 9.67km....and even if I did the math and added the distance, it would have put me around the 57:30 mark, which also makes me happy!!!
As soon as we were done...I was asking myself, OK WHAT'S NEXT :)
