I hope everyone had a happy 4th of July celebration! Jeremy and I ran a 5K race before the Huntington Beach parade. It was a great run and both of us put our all into the race trying to finish with the best time!
My stats were my best ever!
- Female ages 25-39 placed: 16 of 93
- Overall 438 of 1774
- Pace: 8:34
- Time 00:26:39
Jeremy's were even better...
- Male ages 30-34: 14 of 63
- Overall: 209 of 1774
- Pace: 7:35
- Time: 00:23:36
As I ran my fastest ever... the last 1/2 mile was hard... even though the distance was short the speed really had an affect on me... towards the end I started to back off and it was then that a guy behind me complimented me by saying " you have been pulling me the whole way with your great pace... finish your race strong" That kept me up to speed and he finished two people behind me. That was so cool!
Jeremy had is first racing experience and did an awesome job... I was very impressed! He told me he couldn't run that pace for 13 miles though, well either could I with my pace, lol!
I thought we were going to head home after the run and to my surprise he decided to stay for the open 5K, kids races, and even to the beginning of the parade where two fighter jets welcome the parade as it starts and the police helicopters fly in the sky. We didn't stay for the parade as our location is at the end of the parade so we left after the air shows were done. We were hungry and desperately needed showers. After Carl's Jr. and showers we both took a nap... after all we were up at 6am for the race!
In the evening it sounded like a war zone in Huntington Beach, which is hilarious considering Fire Works are illegal in our city! I bet law enforcement had their hands full in our area, lol!
To say the least, we had a blast!
We are excited to do the Disney half marathon and Jeremy is feeling confident to do well! We have plans on running 8 miles this Sunday before a birthday party that afternoon!
We ran his 1st 6 miles ever on Sunday (7/6) and did great. I on the other hand pulled a muscle in my leg and I am still recovering. I had to cancel the trail race tomorrow and plan on taking it easy until Sunday... with hopes to run 8 miles!
