15 minute warm-up down to Millrace Park. 5 x 3 minutes hard/two minutes easy. Cooldown home. I felt pretty strong. I was going to do something measured on the track, but Taylorsville High was playing a football game, so I had to change my workout. The good thing is, my soleus didn't hurt at all. My hip was sore, but warmed out. Hopefully I can fake it through the race on Saturday.

I tried to stay comfortable and very aerobic this morning. I'm feeling the effects of yesterday's workout a little. My legs feel good, but the soleus was a little sore, and out of the blue, my right hip is beginning to bother me. But, I think it's all just little naggy things. Total time 49:43.

The day started out pouring rain. I think that may be the wettest conditions I have ever competed in besides a region cross country meet in Portland in college. I'm sure the weather affected the time a little, but I can't blame the entire race on the weather conditions. I don't think it slowed people down too much.

I'm just not in shape. Especially 5k race shape. I guess I can't expect to run fast when I haven't trained in a month. I've cross trained, and got back to running the last week and a half, but I haven't done the speedwork necessary to run a good 5k. Every time I tried to go with people, or kick, or speed up, the legs just weren't there. I just got in a pace, and couldn't break it, no matter how hard I tried.

I'm FRUSTRATED!!!! I know I'm so much better than how I have been running. There's days I wonder if I have it in me anymore. I'm such a has been now.

I'm having a pity party at the moment. I need to gain perspective and get back to serious training again.

3 mile warm up and two mile cool down made a very wet 8 miles today.
