OK, so it was kind of a sad day at the beginning, but turned into a shocking run..... It was raining slightly so I ran in a long t shirt and shorts I decided to bring the garmin today. All the sudden This turned into a race against myself after running in the awful heat for numerous days, the cool air felt good. The wind was blowing at a decent rate, all the sudden I got to my one mile mark and ran a 6:00 mile, I kept going determined to keep it up. But when I turned I was running into the headwind, straight into it. At my two mile mark, I got 12:10 I was angry I didn't keep up a 6:00 mile pace, I kept going up to the hill by the temple and had to stop at the stoplight for 30 seconds so I paused my garmin, then I kept going I finished my 3 mile time trial slightly down the hill at a whopping 18:17?? what the heck did that come from? I got my IT band injured for track and had to reduce my mileage, maybe that helped. Well yes this course isn't the state course, so yeah hopefully i won't get injured and i can keep this pace up and work on hills as this course, didn't have many. But I cooled down for a couple miles and was so excited that I think I ran home too fast! But I couldn't believe it!!! I ran a 18:17 3 mile!!! I couldn't be more excited I managed to run a 6:05 last mile pretty excited for XC.
