 Posted: 09/03/05 - 10:31 Post subject: bethlehem project 5K
this is a brand new race to benefit the homeless in our county.
the course is very familiar to me though. i ran a 5K on july 4th weekend here and got almost the same time. it great morning for a run, can't blame the weather or the crowd (which was very small due to another local 5K this morning)
my clock time was 24:35 but the official list had me at 24:46 which is typical for me this course but also discouraging as i had run in the low 23s earlier this year  i felt really strong in the 3rd mile after cresting a long hill but refused to look at my watch; i felt i would PR this time.
i'm glad i went but this race leaves me with an overall  feeling about my training. deflated but still managed a first in my AG due to the really small turnout.
the volunteers were awesome, running crowd was very enthusiastic; i don't think i've ever heard such loud applause for each and every award given out.
all things considered this past week, i felt blessed to have been there, slogging away, and doing my thing.

Don't feel bad with the time, Rock. A lot of races are like that - you think you did PR-good, and you didn't, or you think you sucked and it turns out you kicked butt. (been there, done both)
You ran for a good cause, you enjoyed the crowds, and you came away feeling good for doing the race. You sound like a winner to me.
You always do.
