I decided to do a 5K as part of the low-key Crystal City 5K Fridays. I needed a good speed session to get me ready for next week's assault on my 10K PR. I didn't run as fast as I wanted, even for a pseudo-workout, but it was fun. If only I had someone to run with out there.
My garmin wouldn't connect next to the buildings so I did not even use a watch at all and went by feel. I feel like doing that is a mistake for me yet. I realized I need that feedback each mile to adjust my effort accordingly.
First 800m I dropped everyone and was alone. I don't know what I split for the mile and I didn't like that. There were many 90 degree turns and a 180 around a cone. I could tell it was hard to stay on top of the pace out there alone in the wind but that's alright
Even though it was a pretty slow time for me when you look at my other race results, once you put it into the context of a glorified workout then it's fine.
