Love it or Hate it 5K 2013

This year I decided to change my running at bit and try to get faster. With that in mind I decided to do 5ks and hopefully find a 10k at the beginning of the summer to compete in and see if I get faster!

The first one I did was the Love it or Hate it Cupid Run at Nebraska Wesleyan. It was a fun course and set up nicely. I started in the parking lot at the first of the university. I ran straight through to the track where I made a big loop around the track and then out to the exterior sidewalk of the campus. Then I went around twice (I took the hate route because I was in all black) and then made my way back through campus to the finish line. It was very fun.

The route was actually 3.3 miles and I ran it in 31:35. I was happy with the time and it set the bar for the rest of the year. I had an average pace of 9:34 a mile so that was good too. I ran the first mile in 8:36 so that was too fast!
