3K

By Chris

Today I ran in a 3k in Falls Church. A 3k is 1.86 miles but always feels more like 2 because of the early June heat and all the uphill portions, along with the 800m homestretch. It did increase my endurance, and I ran with my friend, Jamie, who I beat by 2 seconds. We ran a good race overall, sprinting for the finish when Jamie's mom yelled, "Hey Jaime! Your almost there!" At which point Jamie decided that we should run away, as fast as we could. My time was 16:33, which is OK, but not what I expected. Last year, I got a 17, but when I was out on a jog with my friend and his dad, I got just under a 15. Oh, well, I'll do better next year.
