Have a lot going on getting ready for the arrival of our first child, so this will be a very brief report.
Though I continue to be out of race shape due to my calf and taking it easy, I decided I had to run a final race before my impending fatherhood. So it was off to downtown DC this morning for a rainy Jingle All the Way 8k.
I still harbor a bit of dislike for the 8-10k distances. Maybe I need more practice, but in my experience and my race style they're just too long to go all out and too short for me to get in a really good pace groove. This morning I wasn't expecting too much, but found myself with a fast group and stuck with it. I finished ahead of my goal, didn't have too much pain after warming up, so I'll take that result and roll into the Christmas season with a smile.
8k : 32:24 | 6:31/mile
