My legs are nowhere near tired enough after the race Sunday. While that makes sense because of the wind, they should be more tired than they are. I ran 4 miles yesterday in 24:34, which is about 6:08 miles. That's almost exactly the pace I ran on Sunday for the 5k. This also suggests that I'm peaking, and need to find a race to honestly peak for next weekend. It would be a shame to waste this.
On another note, I had another friend suggest I try to get sponsored yesterday. The first time someone told me that, I dismissed it. The second time, the person suggesting it was a pro mountain biker, and I took her a little more seriously. The third time, I can't really ignore it. Apparently, most sponsors are really looking for somebody who will show their product and label off often (ie who will run a lot of races) and I think I qualify on that point at the moment. As one friend put it, I "run like it's [my] job."
Sadly it's too late to do anything about it this year, but come next year I might look into it if I'm still running as much as I am currently.
Meanwhile, I got 18th or 19th out of 940 people Sunday. I'll take that, especially knowing I can run faster than I did.
