National Capital Race Weekend
As many of you know I repeated the Running Room clinic this year. It really is a good way to get kick-started for the summer. The first week (March 7th) we actually ran on the canal, and as with last year the culmination of the clinic was the 5k on race weekend.
This year has been a bit different from last year. For one thing I have actually gotten to know the people in the clinic this year, and have been running regularly with a running partner from the course. She and I (and a friend of hers) ran the 5k today at a very comfortable pace (aside from a little rubber burning right at the end). I really felt quite relaxed as we did the run, quite unlike last year’s feeling that I was going to expire, and ran it in about the same time as last year too (45 seconds slower or so this year).
Altogether a different experience. I am glad we started near the front this year which meant we could avoid bowling all the walkers over along the way.
Definitely something I would consider doing again next year.
