OK...if you read my July 4th post, you know I set a goal and missed it for my most recent 5K. I even told people before the run that I wanted to finish in less than 27 mins...and I don't usually share before. All in all, not the most motivating thing I've ever done, but not the end of the world either.
Well today I went outside for a run in a new place...I had walked the route a couple of days ago to make sure I could get 3+ miles out of it. I got up early, it was gorgeous outside, and I ran.
I didn't check my pace, instead I just ran for the feel good pleasure of running. Some inclines - nothing too heinous. Some other runners and bikers - but no need to weave or adjust.
Just me, my sneakers, some music and a good mood...resulting in a one minute improvement and one of my best 5Ks in about 15 years!
June 23rd 5K - 27:04
July 4th 5K - 27:23
Today's No Pressure 5K - 26:22
Have no idea why really, so the only take away for me is this:
So, until next time...

Set goals, but don't worry if you miss them, there's always next time.
So, until next time...
