Successful 1st race this weekend!
So I did a little throwaway 5K this weekend on Sunday since my office was running a team in the race and I needed a 3 miler as part of my 1/2 marathon training. Shaved a minute off my pace. Came in at 35:03 which is great for me, just a hair over 11 minute miles on the pace! Combined with my 6 mile run on Saturday, that is the most distance I've done over two days.
The distance really starts to ramp up from here until my first 1/2 on Halloween. I did realize that I started out really fast which is fine for a 5K but I'm going to need to focus on controlling that for the 1/2 or I will burn out way too quickly.
All in all, a good running weekend!

Congratulations on your 1st race. It's certainly not a "little throwaway 5K!" It's a major milestone in your journey as a runner! Good luck with your half marathon training!
