Today was the 30th annual
Race That's Good for Life 5k race in Oak
Park. I had run this in
2003,
2004,
2005
and
2006
but not afterwards as the spring marathons got in the way. As I am now on a
more relaxed (and seemingly non-marathon ;-) schedule, I was able to
participate again. Really nice to leave your house fifty minutes before race
start and cycle over... And kudos to the
Oak Park
Runner's Club who once again put a nice race together.
Given the lack of (more intense) training, I am also a lot slower: 21:50.7 was
the chip time, or a 7:02 pace. We will see if I ever get faster again. On
race day I am usually motivated; it remains to be seen if I get over to the
track in the early morning to push myself through some speedwork.
