Notes
Save The Trail 5K - New 5K PR!!! Met up with EH and NG from Yesodot who paced me during the race. The out and back course was mostly downhill out and uphill back. First mile split (according to the Garmin...the mile marker came at .97 on my Garmin) was 7:28, second mile was 7:59 and third mile was 8:01 (the splits may be a bit off as the trail goes under a main road and the Garmin lost communications with the satellite for a short bit). My goal was to break 25 minutes, but as we hit the halfway point it looked like we could break 24 minutes as well. Ezra did a great job pushing me through the last half mile - I didn't have much steam left and he kept on pushing me to push through...but the time I got to the last home stretch I was able to kick (not too fast since it was at the end) to the finish line. Such a great feeling to push through two barriers today (25 min and 24 min!) after 7 weeks of focused training.
