I'm not.
Had a 5k this morning, at the local golf course. My second favorite distance behind the 200 meters. Yes, the 200 meters. I will always be a sprinter at heart. The course was the sort of course that should favor me, lots of small to medium hills. I live at the highest elevation in Salem, I can't do any runs without hills. This race should have been in my wheelhouse.
And I sucked. I made literally every mistake I could've made, both mentally and physically. Terrible. The course was a mess from all the rain, but I can't even blame it on that. I wasn't warmed up enough, didn't stretch well enough, didn't eat or drink what I should've beforehand. I took terrible lines around and through the soggy areas, ran the downhills poorly. My feet and ankles hate me. I really could not have run a worse race.
Fuck.
