Ran 5K (30:05) Avg Pace (9:43), PU 38, SU 38

Running in the New Year Race at the Riverparks in Tulsa. Run starts at 11:45 pm. Won’t be my best 5K that’s for sure. It’s bloody cold and late too! Actually, I guess it will be my best 5K since I’ve never run a5K before. Hopefully it will be fun. 

The recap! 

It was fun – well, OK. It was OK. Couldn’t find anyone crazy enough to go with me and I made a cardinal running mistake. I did something new on the day of the race. I bought some running tights today – thick ones – and put them on under my sweats. I got too hot and my legs felt like iron lumps halfway through the race. Next time I’ll know – don’t wear thick tights and sweats, it’s just not comfortable. I thought it would be colder tonight. It was also crazy weird running that late at night, plus a lot of the streetlights and the running trail lights were out due to storm damage so I kept expecting to fall in a hole. Fortunately I didn’t. Unfortunately somebody – right at the start line – did.  New goal for the year – 5 races. Any distance, but must be official.
