Umemilen 2019

I had almost forgotten how much of a mental game it is to run even a 10k race. Halfway through, I was getting all these reasonable thoughts about that I should slow down, that my time does not really matter anyway and that I would still be improving compared to last year. Luckily, I was able to push through and complete Umemilen in 44 minutes and 27 seconds which is in more than five minutes faster than last time around. With 97% of the run in the highest heart rate zone, I have to admit that it did not come for free though but now I am just very happy that I kept going.
