Running blog: 5k Raider Maze

7.25.09

Today I ran in a 5k. This was the second time I have run since taking the week off for my shin splints. I was not really sure how well I was going to do. The course was not the most scenic. It was on the track and in the parking lot of the high school (the race was to benefit the high school cross country team). The course ended up being tough due to the hills that were strategically placed in the course. I didn’t finish last, but was part of the last group. Small entry and I don’t run fast (9:37 mile), but all that mattered to me was that my shin splints didn’t hurt and that I beat my previous 5k race time. Only one more 5k before the half marathon.
