I was really hoping to PR and break 19:00. I know I'm in shape to do it. But it snowed 5-6 inches overnight, so I had no chance.
I ran hard for the first mile, but I was only able to come up with 7:03. It was exhausting and impossible with the snow. So I just jogged it in for the next 2 miles.
Mile 1- 7:03
Mile 2- 7:50
Mile 3- 7:43
0.1- 1:00
FINISH- 23:37 (7:33)
It was frustrating and I'm let down that I didn't get to start the year with a PR. But I made the best of it, and still managed to have a great time with Sarah. She's a good race buddy.
