Warmed up with 3 easy miles.  Started a 5 mile tempo run and my plan was to run 6:30/mile since I just raced on Saturday.  I figured that I wouldn't be as fast because I'm old and it takes longer to recover from races.  Splits were: 6:30, 6:23, 6:26, 6:27, 6:24.  The second mile was slightly downhill and I pushed harder during the last quarter mile of the last mile so the splits are more consistent than they appear.  The pace felt really good and the form started out a little clunky but then started to feel smooth towards the end.  Cooled down with an easy mile.

Nice job Andy. Seems the race primed you for your run today.

Paul, the first time I met Andy (WBR last year) we were talking about how old everyone was and I joked and called him the old man of the group (although Cal is older) and he hasn't quite gotten over it:) Right Andy?

Nice run Andy. Those are some really nice splits so soon after a race. I don't think you give yourself enough credit for how good of shape your in.

You are right, Michelle. The old man comment still haunts me. It has been over a year and I am still not over it.

Technically, it wasn't out of my mouth (ha ha). I don't think it was negative. Just a simple statement of fact.

From Teena on Tue, Jul 07, 2009 at 14:53:25 from 67.177.20.13

But you're NOT old!!!!
