Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 90 degrees, humid

Comments:
Ran a 5k race up in Stuart this evening with my dad and his friend Lee. Did it for fun. Conditions were hot and humid (hard to breathe), so after the first mile, which was pretty fast, I decided to slow it down, realizing there was no way I was gonna compete with the top female runner, so I ran at closer to my LT pace. I finished 2nd overall female behind a rly fast girl Kayla Conrad who runs at UNF, who ran 19:17. My time was 20:53. Noticeable difference from running 5ks under 20 after hard training weeks this Spring in the cool weather vs. running somewhat tired in the hot summer. Upper body/legs and core were sore from all the work I did Wednesday in the gym. Hopefully the training I'm doing will pay off in the long run. Warm-up and cool down totaled 3 miles.
