Local 5k’s are the best! We recently ran the Labor Day 5k put on by the Fort Worth Runners Club and Luke’s Locker of Fort Worth. The race was very well organized and just plain fun to run.
This race was a part of our CrossFit Endurance training. Our goal was to run it as fast as we could while still feeling good. We had planned on eating well the day/night before and getting a good amount of sleep. We ended up eating out for all three meals the day before and waking up 30 minutes prior to the race start….not registered. It was definitely a last minute rush to get our bib and head to the starting line.
At the start of the race, we were weaving through the usual crowd. It started to thin out around mile 1 and our pace started to pick up. At one point, Isis started running sub 8-minute miles and Lee had to remind her to pace herself.
We crossed the finish line 25 minutes and 36 seconds later. Isis was 3rd in her age group and Lee was 12th in his. We had an average pace of 8.12 per mile. We were both rocking our Brooke’s Green Silences and had no troubles along the way. See all results here. Three of our Endurance training buds finished in the top 5!
How was your Labor Day?
