Yesterday was a good day

Yesterday I ran the Richmond 8k
My time was 25:40 and I finished in 27th place. That's around 5:08 per 1600. It felt really good and everything came together pretty perfectly. I also reconnected with team blitz and met its current members. That was a lot of fun.

I haven't run a race that I was proud of since the Charlottesville 10 Miler in March 2017, so a little over a year and a half.  That was mostly due to injury and work commitments.  I'm happy that I got back to the level I was at in 2017 by designing my own training and mostly running alone. I think I learned that lots of long slow running can get me in good race shape and that I don't need a lot of hard workouts several times a week.

Going into the winter my goal is to do A LOT of a slow running to set up for the spring where my key races are the Colonial Half and Charlottesville 10 miler. Woo.
