Orem Firefighters 5k Melody
The Sojourners did fantastic at this local 5k supporting the Orem Fire Department. I think the men swept the top three and the women took 2nd and (me) 3rd. My baby is only 5 weeks old and I had not done any speed work in 10+ months. The lack of sleep, miles and turnover made for a non existent race plan. I just decided to go with a pace that felt doable but slightly uncomfortable. I was surprised that my last mile was only 7 seconds slower than my first, so I paced it pretty well. I ended in 3rd place for women and won my age group. The only downside to the race (besides starting an hour later than advertised) was they gave prizes to the top 3 overall, which all happened to be men (and fellow Sojourners:). I am looking forward to gradually getting in better shape over the next few months.
