I am writing this from a Korean Spa.
JeJu. It’s really the only way to recover from a 5K! I also used it to recover from Tough Mudder.
No, there isn’t a happy ending.
The race was the Free to Breathe 5K. It was a very, very hilly race through an Atlanta neighborhood called Virginia Highlands.
Despite the humidity and hills, I nailed a PR!
Stats:
- Distance – 3.14 miles
- Time: 23:06
- Average Pace – 7:21
1st place in my age group and 5th overall! The fastest female finished in just over 19 mins. Crazy fast.
Which clearly deserved a hearty breakfast from Osteria with my friend Jessica.
The omelet was good, but the grits were icky soupy. In my omelet: red pepper, onion, spinach, basil, and a side of pomodoro sauce. YUM.

Back to the sauna I go!
What are you doing this weekend?
Can any of you run a 19 minute 5K? How?!
Ahh Laura! You are crazy fast! Super race, girl.. congrats on the PR!
Great job! You should do the Vinings Downhill with me and Jason on 9.10. I mean, if you can do a hilly 5K in this time, imagine how fast you’d be able to run a mostly downhill course.
Thanks! Vinings downhill is tempting… have you done it before? Is it painful downhill or gradual?
Congrats on your race!! You seriously rocked it! Whenever I hear of the winners placing anywhere from 16-19 minutes I’m always thinking “I can’t even imagine going that fast…” haha. Of course, I think that with 23:00 times, too 😉
Congrats on the race!
Where is the cheese in that omelet?
I know, I know…. dairy after running isn’t okay with my stomach, unfortunately. 🙁
AWESOME girl! You are such a running rockstar! 🙂 Nice work! A 19 min 5k? Holy moley! Had a rocking day surfing… Happy Saturday! xoxo from Trinidad
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Bloody hell your Speedy Gonzales!! Well done on placing first luv! 🙂 Enjoy your sauna time!
You go girl! Great job on the 5k! Hope you enjoy the spa!
Wow, congratulations on your fabulous finish – 1st in your age category – that’s really fantastic!! (who cares about soupy grits when you can run your butt off! :))
Congrats! That is super fast 🙂
Go Laura Go!!! You are so fast!! Oh my gosh!! Congratulations on the PR and another medal!!! So happy for you!
