Back day at the gym with Ian. Ran to the track and did 5 or 6 laps reverse, then 6 or 7 laps the other way. I was having side stitches all over, probably because I had a bunch of chocolate milk earlier. I'm going to race the bg 5k next week and decided to run a mile at goal pace, my goal is under 18. So I had 5:45 as my goal pace, I ran somewhere between 5:33-5:37. My first lap was slow and then I guess I overcorrected, it wasn't a good speed day for running and I was already 4 miles into my run when I started the pace mile, but I thought it went smoothly. Let's hope I can run in the mid 17 minute range. I'll run again next Tuesday probably, hopefully. We'll see, Mondays and tuesdays are rough. Also gave me a little practice for my sub 5 attempt that will take place in a few weeks/months. Need to happen by December. Right now I could run under 5:20, not exactly sure what. That means I'm pretty close, I think two weeks from the 5k I should be able to do it. |
