Leading up to this 5k, I wasn't feeling very confident. I took a week off after the Orca Half, and the two 3-milers I ran the week after were both very difficult and slow. I went back to the gym after five weeks off and had some major DOMS, especially in my inner thighs. Damn squats.
But this would be my second year running the Kraken 5k and I didn't want to skip it. After all, I'd been organizing it at work among our run club—I had to show up!
