Did some cross training yesterday and I'm afraid I over did it. I am going to run a 5K race tomorrow in hope to at least get very close to my PR if not break it. As always before a race I feel slugish. I'm going to pick my packet this afternoon - hopefully this will give me a boost.

Thanks Walter. I need to work now more on my endurance and then I'll start to plan more seriously how to get BQed.

Yes, welcome to the blog! I think you'll find it provides more motivation to run daily and train well, all of which will help with your BQ!
