HMRRC Winter Series #4 – 3M

It was a chilly 10 degrees when the Winter Series #4 started this morning. I had been planning on running it all week, but hadn’t made up my mind until the last minute to run the 3 mile race instead of the 15K. I’m glad I did because I felt slow, cold and tired the whole 3 miles and just wanted to get it done with. It probably didn’t help that I didn’t drink enough water beforehand either. Bad preparation on my part. The 15K would have gone terrible. I ran the three miles in 28:08, 9:22/mile average.

I was glad to have Alicia and Melissa to run with for a portion of it though!

Afterward the three of us headed to brunch at Justin’s on Lark Street. I went with the Norwegian frittata with cheese, spinach and salmon. I thought it sounded great but it turns out I don’t care for fish in my eggs.

I can’t help but feel a tad disappointed in myself for not running the race I set out to do..the 15K. I had planned on it originally but then last minute couldn’t decide because of the cold. This puts my weekly mileage at 13, which is low for me. There’s always next week.
