Running: It's actually more expensive than therapy 

Light the Night 5k Race Recap: 3/6/20

Friday night 3/6/20 was the Light the Night 5k in New Smryna Beach, FL. This was before everything changed with the Coronavirus and before races had been cancelled. I had not run a 5k since last June so I was a bit rusty. Now that I think of it that was probably the last time I did any sort of speed workout. I wanted to go by feel and not go too hard and try to negative or even split. 

The Race
We started right at 6:15 pm. I tried to start off slow and not too fast like I can do then fade at the end. My pace felt steady and not fast but still not as easy as I would have liked. I saw two women in front of me and was able to pass them before the turnaround. The course was really easy just an out and back with a turnaround halfway through. The halfway point was when I felt worse and wanted to slow down. I wasn't out of shape but just exhausted in general if that makes any sense. My second mile was the slowest then the last was a little faster so I did negative split. It started to get dark at the end which was a really neat affect. I just love this race because of how different it is. 

I was very excited to have an overall female win and I just loved the race atmosphere and awards. This was a very fun face and I hope I get to run it again and again!
