So the Capitol Hill Classic was not my best race, but I'm proud of my 55:25 finish time, especially in light of how little I've been able to work out lately. Every workout is a struggle because of travel, and I admittedly did not train much. I barely ran more than 4 miles in weeks, and I need to build up a larger base. Though the husband was in the same situation and rocked it, finishing with 7:57/miles, nearly a full minute faster than me. The late start time and the drizzle was also a factor, but really, no excuses. I'll take a 10K anytime, especially in under 9 minute miles.
Hopefully there will be another race to come this year, like the Navy five miler. I'm in no shape to run more than that for a while!
