A friend of mine had a Bib for the Canada D'Eh Race in my hometown of Amherstburg. She was not able to participate, so she gave the bib to me. I took it because I was going to be around that day, but honestly hadn't been training too consistently after the Moon in June. Since this was a 5K, I wasn't too concerned and just thought, I would do the best I could, given the training. I didn't have a pace watch, I didn't know how I was going to do. I thought to myself, it's fine...just go out and do the best you can, run based on how you are feeling instead of what a watch is telling you!!!
I had no idea how I was doing until the very end when I crossed the finish line...out of breath and sick to my stomach...maybe I pushed a little too hard at the end, but I still had a little gas left in my tank and I wanted to finish strong. I was incredibly pleased with my 26:20 finishing time!!! It's good to mix some 5K's in with the longer distances...it pushes you in different ways and actually help to boost my running confidence some more :)
