Tenth 5k - Sunrise Shuffle
Bloomingdale, IL
Time 32:10 Place 88/169 overall
Oh. My. God. This was the most boring 5k in the history of 5ks. Ever! The race was a double loop around the Stratford Square Mall. There were only 169 people runnning and barely anyone out there cheering us on. Nothing to look at and nothing to think about aside from wanting to give up. But at this point I'd be regressing in my training if I couldnt run a 5k straight through.
On the plus side I had my second best time since April and my foot didnt hurt one bit. I learned from my physical therapist how to tape my foot the right way.
I got a free entry to this race through active.com so all I wasted was the gas to get there. I'm glad I pushed myself to keep on running through the boredom. I cant believe the only photo is my coming up BEHIND this old dude to the finish line!
