Today was the Sri Chinmoy 10K, a 3 lap+ of the Avon River on paved walking paths and road. I had expected to improve on my last performance since my latest workouts indicated that I might. Maybe it was because the day was quite windy or perhaps I haven't done enough morning runs, but more likely because in reality I'm actually quite slow. It didn't go as I expected. I started well enough, but was struggling quite early and at 5K the time was 26:03. I thought I could relax, recover and do a better second half. Think again. My finish time was 53:50, only slightly better than the 10K I did in the last 15K run. This, in fact, could be my top speed.....Naaaaa. I was feeling pretty old today, but I'll bet I looked terrific.
It can't be the shoes - they look just like MINE!
