Race: Outside the Ice 5k (3.11 Miles) 00:19:14, Place overall: 5
Total Distance
5.70

The outside the ice 5k turns out to mean that it is an indoor 5k going around an ice rink. This was actually a pretty cool venue for a race and I'd like to see more races there. Obviously there was a difficulty of lapping people but it wasn't all that bad.

Anyway my goal today was just to test out the achilles to prep myself for the half marathon tomorrow and I figured that I would pace Allie as well. I kind of had fun sitting back and picking people off as we kept a really even pace. We started with a 1:43 lap and we stayed in the 1:42-1:44 range until running the last two laps in 1:41,1:35. I think the funniest part was that the leaders almost lapped us after about 6 laps but then stayed about the same distance back the rest of the way.

As for my foot, it was fine and I even felt like I was pushing off my right foot fully. I think that the superfeet insoles are stopping me from yanking my achilles too much. Additionally, the fact that it is pancake flat was very kind to my feet. The one issue that I got was a blister due to the hole in my sock and the insoles which make my feet sit slightly differently in my shoe. I bet that this will become really bloody and gross tomorrow, but I look forward to it.

Last week I ellipticalled a half marathon in 1:11:23. I'm going to be happy with a 1:16 low tomorrow. Half marathon history (you have to go down very far to get to my altitude half pr)

1:15:01 (Sale Lake City Half 2011, aided+short)

1:16:18 (Provo City 2011)!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Clearly my altitude PR is soft. I think that this will be tough to get tomorrow but it's at least possible.

i refuse to believe that any of your running socks have holes in them.
