And somewhere in that last half mile, I just felt my running mojo come home. My stride opened up, and for the first time in almost a year, running actually felt … good. Maybe even great.
So imagine my surprise when I pulled around the final corner of the course and saw a 32 on the clock in the distance. Knowing my secret goal was to finish sub 34 (essentially an 11 minute mile pace with a little wiggle room), I was thrilled.
I even briefly debated the final distance, how quickly I could sprint it, and weather or not I could get a 32 something as a final time. But I realized that would just be dumb. That, and it would very likely induce vomiting. So I kept a steady pace, smiled for the cameras, and stomped on the mat as the fire engines tooted and the announcer called out my name.
Boom. Another race on the books.
