i ran the Valentine 5k this morning. it didn't go as well as i was hoping. i have an icky cold and my nose is partially plugged. i almost didn't go but knew i'd be even more pissed at myself. it was tough cuz i'm a nose breather and i was having to mouth breath some to get enough air. because my body was confused, i didn't get enough air, and thus now have a nasty headache. allooong with feeling like my head is gonna explode. anyways, all in all, my time was better than i thought….38:27(only 28 seconds slower than last month). i had to walk about 1/3 of it cuz of the whole breathing thing and my legs were tired. i even didn't do anything yesterday for 'fresh' legs. next one will be much better cuz i won't be sick (positive thinking) and oviously my pace has improved.
i guess this is what sets apart winners and loosers. us winners do the dirty work even when we wanna give up, roll over and go back to sleep. tho the race didn't go as well as i wanted, i'm proud of myself for doing it. i didn't give up and for that i am happy.
