A new PR?
If you can call it that. My slowest 5k on record, hooray... Only by a few minutes and had 1k of walking so I was probably doing pretty well overall. I think the hill at the beginning of my run killed me. And that was more mental than anything. Long and short of it, the run makes me think I can hold on to my E Corral number for the Peachtree and at least get close to the time standard for the group. I'm only off by 5 or 6 minutes and that's without the adrenaline of an actual race. Plus the first 3 miles are downhill, so I might be able to roller coaster up Cardiac Hill and finish on the run. More likely I'll just walk that half mile to a mile and try to run the rest. Problem with that is that I've discovered once I start walking, I tend to want to walk again soon thereafter. I really hope I can just push through the hill and run the whole thing, but I don't foresee that being an option.
