Time: 8:30
Where: Green Lake
Workout: 5 K
Notes and observations: First weekend since I started training seriously that I did not do the prescribed workout. I skipped Saturday and ran a 5K race on Sunday (the top pot 5k doughnut dash). My time: 27:24. My pace: 8:50. I’m sure I could have been faster but I started off near the back of the pack and spent the first mile bobbing and weaving my way towards a comfortable spot. There were people running this race, dressed as doughnuts. I literally chased a maple bar the entire 5K. And the maple bar beat me!

Oh yeah, and we all got a real doughnut at the end. Well, some runners had theirs before the race started, but that’s no way to run a race! Glazed. mmmm ….

Music: Beat the Bridge playlist. It’s a good one!
