I ran the five mile Ortega run today and beat the goal I had set for myself. I finished at 45.07, a 9 minute mile pace. Overall, I placed 197, in the top 25 percent. For my age category 20-24 I placed 12 out of 45 runners. Not too shabby for my first run in over three years. I remember the third lap being the worst of them all...the hot Florida sun was beaming down as I was pushing it over a bridge wishing I had drank the water from the last free stand. I missed the three mile marker so it felt like forever and when I had reached the fourth mile marker with the time I thought I was at the third and assumed I had been going uber slow. To my surprise and momentary relief it was the fourth mile marker and not the third.
