The 5K I Ran a Long Time Ago

Workout: None After running the Sandoval Goodwill 5K on Memorial Day I kept telling myself to write the race review or I would forget the details.  So now here we are almost a month later, and I have forgotten most of the details.  But, I remember the important ones.  Like: 1.  I remember that it was HOT.  No, like, really REALLY HOT!!  The race started at 7 a.m. and by 7:02 I was dying!! 2.  I remember that the course was very pretty.  The entire course was run through a gorgeous gated community.  I enjoyed the scenery the first 2 miles.  The last mile I was too tired and hot to appreciate  anything. 3.  And I remember that I felt like I was running at least a 9 minute pace the last mile.  It was so insanely hot I had nothing left in me.  I refused to look at my Garmin because I knew the slow pace would mess with my mind.  With about a quarter mile to go I decided to glance at my watch and somehow I was running a 7:30 pace. Mile 1 - 7:32 Mile 2 - 7:29 Mile 3
