Race: Layton Classic 10k (6.21 Miles) 00:36:01, Place overall: 2, Place in age division: 2

Total Distance

12.60

AM RHR 57!!!

I decided that I wanted to see what happens when I actually try to run a decent effort. I thought that a 10k would be better than a 5k because it's less of a shock to the system.

Ended up only about 2 minutes slower than last year. As in des news I wore my garmin and completely ignored my splits as they were happening. Thus, these are a little off from the actually miles but not by much.

Warmup Miles 8:54,8:51,9:06 (136,121,120)

Race Miles 5:31,6:15,6:17,5:43,5:42,5:46 (167,178,182,181,183,186)

Cooldown Miles 7:56,8:04 (147,140)

The 5:31 felt ludicrously slow, but it is mostly downhill. After the first mile I felt pretty lousy and just tried to run an even effort. I was about 90 seconds behind my pace from last year at halfway, so only 30 seconds slower the second half.

I can't be upset by my performance but if I'm being honest with myself I have to admit that this didn't feel great. I will have to monitor what happens over the next week, but my hunch is that I set myself back a bit. That's ok though, I had good reason to think I was on the mend and this is definitely an improvement.

Looking at the here and now, I say you ran well. You seem to be very in touch with how you are feeling. I heard through the others that you did not die today, if anything that is something to celebrate!:)

From Fritz on Sat, Sep 08, 2012 at 22:29:35 from 76.27.28.67

Nice job James. Glad to see that things are improving.

From steve ash on Sat, Sep 08, 2012 at 22:33:57 from 174.52.177.84

You look to be on the doing better for sure James. Keep the positive attitude up and hope strong.

I've just read over your whole heart problem - sorry for your troubles. You seem to be all over it and I'm sure in time you'll have it sorted.

I'm not sure if Jake was messing about yesterday when he said that you hadn't died (that's the sort of joke I'd make and that's why I flippantly made a remark about it being funny. If it caused offence, I apologise.)

I hope you get better soon.

Don't worry, Bam, I'm definitely not offended.

From MarkP on Sun, Sep 09, 2012 at 10:55:11 from 75.169.22.194

Great job! I'm glad to hear you are on the mend.

From Jake K on Sun, Sep 09, 2012 at 14:48:16 from 67.177.11.154
