This morning I ran in the Race for Open Space 5k to benefit the Nantucket Conservation Foundation.

This is only my 2nd road race, (both were 5k’s.)

I always feel so intimated by all the shiny neon sneakers. But once the horn went off I felt right at home.

It was overcast 70’s and we went up and down some hills on Cliff Rd and Madaket Rd.

In the end I came in at 25:30 which was under my goal of 26 minutes.

I can definitely see how people can get addicted to road races because you feel so accomplished before it was even 9am!

Breakfast was 2 pieces of pb&j toast. Carby proteiny goodness

Going to check in

Some pre-race stretching

Proud to wear a bib
