Azelea Festival 5K report
Sunday I ran the Azalea Festival 5K and did so so for me. I was doing well until just after the 2 mile mark and the darn asthma kicked in and I lost my mental focus. I am fighting to get back what I call for speed to where it was before Gasparilla and it is slowly coming back but not fast enough for me.
Bottom line finished in 19:59 14th o/a and 2nd in age group (40-49). Once I have my mental focus back should be back under 19:30 fairly quickly. I really need to find that focus again and find a way to push harder in the last mile. Once again I lost it and that bothers me more than the time.
Enjoy the day everyone.

Still breaking 20 is pretty darn good! That focus will come. Man, that's super fast especially for someone who suffers from asthma! I am impressed. Sorry the asthma flared up though.
Good job in your AG! You'll get the time back down there. "Embrace the pain" and get the asthma under control.
People don't realize how big a part the mental aspect plays. You'll get it back... maybe you need a mental break. Some cross-training perhaps?
Congrats on a great time!
