Streets of Fire 8kFirst time ever running an 8k race so no matter what my time, it's a PR. Sure. Right, Im claiming that performance as a PR. Worst race I've ever run. Not sure if it was the heat, time of day (race didn't start until 6:30 pm), course, or me but that was not a good race.
Mile splits:
Mile 1 7:48
Mile 2 9:21
Mile 3 9:20
Mile 4 9:00
Mile 5 9:07
Total time: 45:18 (which is over 9:00/mile)
As you can see from the pic the course was hilly. Those hills from just after mile 1 to almost mile 3 drained me. Then on the way back (course was an out/back) on the downhill my left hip started to let me know it wasn't very happy with me.
The schedule had a 20 mile long run on it today but after getting up and taking about three steps I realized that running 2 miles might be a challenge let alone 20.
Only bright spot of today is that since we're doing pre-season physicals at school I'll be able to have our team doc look at my hip.

I would not do well with an evening race. Blame it on that. Hope the hip works itself out.
