I had a nice pace going down around the bottom of the school and all the way up the hill. Normally when I get to the light at Carmel Country Road, I have to stop and wait, which really makes it hard for me to get back into my rhythm (not to mention the time I waste waiting). Today as I approached the light, a car pulled up to go straight. I pushed hard, hoping the light would change by the time I got there. It did. I ran straight across Carmel Country without slowing down. I knew it would be a good run.<\/p>\n<p>As I neared the top of Graydon Road, I felt like I had set a PR for the hill climb. I cut down to the light at Del Mar Heights Road and it was red. I was upset, but not extremely. I needed to catch my breath. When the light turned green, I took off and never looked back. I kept a good pace all the way to the turn-around spot just after the 5k mark. I promised myself that if I set a PR for the 5k, that I could take a break there and just walk home. When I got there, I checked. Yes, I had a new PR for my 5k.<\/p>\n<p><iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/app.strava.com\/activities\/55898223\/embed\/00049ef7b940b670d3fc11da5d4f894c1755fe2c'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I stood there for a minute, drinking water and washing some salt off my face.
