ACorn,

Hi. You are doing great with your running program.

Regarding the Running of the Leopards 5K coming up:

I hope you get the 16:40 you are looking for. I am looking forward to hearing about that. Allie is running that race also: so at least two race reports to read.

I am leaning toward the approach you took last year. I am running little (three runs and about 30 miles weekly). I will see how that works out.

Please do not take this the wrong way: I think you should be breaking 16:40. You should be running 16:38 at least (5:21/mile I think). Your 5:21 mile equates to my 7:41 mile (from a difficulty standpoint). My best 5K time mind you is 7:43/mile…but the Garmin recorded it as 7:37/mile. Hope you are good at running the tangents. I am not saying run the 5:21s up front…but generally speaking, I believe you can break 16:40!
