When I arrived at the track tonight I noticed the mats layed out at the starting line. Hm. I think I should sign up for email updates as to what the workout will be?! So. The mats indicate a time trial. Am I ready for a time trial? No. But the silver lining is that I will have a good benchmark as to how much I improve (hopefully) over the summer.
As I walked over to the start line (at the 200m line) I started to ponder my time goal for the 3km I was about to run. I thought 13 minutes or less would be pure gold at this point. Here goes!
(I was without Garmin tonight, and the results aren't posted online yet, so I really only have the final number).
Although I tried really hard in the last hundred meters (picture some severe arm pumping and heavy panting on my part) I came in at 13:03. Yes, so close to my goal! Definitely some room for improvement, which I like.
I followed the time trial with two 400m's. It was a beautiful evening. The sun wasn't too hot, and there was a bit of a breeze.
I wish I had brought my camera with me today, as I went to the African Lion Safari with my son's JK class. How cute is it to see a bus load of little ones going crazy over baboons climbing on people's cars?! It was priceless. I am exhausted now though, after all of that fresh air and track running.
Happy Running :)
