Parkrun 5k (2.24.24)

I forgot I made plans to run the race. I woke up so tired and strained. My watch even said strained. My body was just so tired from lack of sleep and being SO BUSY this past week. 

My watch predicted I could run a 27:16 5k which is actually slower than I had been.   But since my body sucked I just hoped for 30 min. Well I failed at that. I also forgot my inhaler. 

I talked to Alex for 2.5 mi of it. I realized my headphone muffles the interval beeping if you are talking so then you never hear it! 

It was the first time I set up my watch to say I was running a race. Well near the beginning it warned me my heart rate was too low. I was surprised. Well later it kept warning my heart rate was too high. We'd take walk breaks when it said that. Once we walked 45 sec or so just to get it down. I never paid attention to that before but my heart rate does get high during races.  My arms /hands got tingly at the end. I can't believe I ran a 5k in 30 min and got tingly hands during it. 

Alex and I plan to do the race again in a month. I'm afraid I will be worse because I never make time to run anymore and I love to run!

Look at my face there!

Right as we came up on the photographer, someone passed us and then went really slow. I thought for sure he was going to ruin my picture. Sure enough he did. You can see my shoulder and visor a little bit.
