So I wouldn't jump to any conclusions just yet about you being slower.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265175590096078175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-31379688108905479792017-03-30T20:13:54.863-05:002017-03-30T20:13:54.863-05:00I still think 20:38 is amazing and would give ANYT...I still think 20:38 is amazing and would give ANYTHING to run that! I have only gone sub-21 one time and that was barely under... I haven't since and am scared it was just a fluke. <br /><br />You gotta give yourself some grace with the race results. You had a tough track workout and have been training for marathons which don't usually lead to crazy fast 5Ks. Plus the first few weeks of adjusting to the heat and humidity are always harder- by the end of the summer everyone has just stopped giving a damn and admitted we're all slow because of it (lol). Congratulations on finishing the race injury-free and at least this way, you can train for and race another :).

I don't think that time is awful and suspect I'd have run about the same.<br /><br />I also think that 5Ks can be very hit or miss - slight issues one way or the other can have significant consequences, just because the race is over so quickly.AKA Darkwave, AKA Anarcha, AKA Cris.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09873516028463495708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-23782017151779510922017-03-30T06:31:29.699-05:002017-03-30T06:31:29.699-05:00I find it interesting that no matter what kind of ...I find it interesting that no matter what kind of runner you are, turtle pace in my case, more elite in yours, that you still have to find your groove. You still have to overcome the injuries and figure out what works for your body. I never thought it would take so long to recover from a back injury but it has. At the end of the day I'm just thankful to be back out running. I know that 20:38 is slow for you b/c of your ability, but law have mercy lady that's so amazing to me!!!!!Charbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023222309412936172noreply@blogger.com
