AM 5.5

PM Did 8*600 with 1 minute rest.

1:45,1:46,1:50,1:51,1:51,1:49,1:51,1:49

I'd been hoping for a 1:50 average and I ended up with 1:49.5. This was slightly faster then when I did the workout previously, but I had half the rest.

Afterwards, I did a long cooldown barefoot on grass.

AM 4

PM I did 6 by mile with 90 seconds rest.

5:18,5:19 5:20,5:21,5:24,5:22

 After the first couple, I was starting out quite slowly in each of these and gradually picking it up. I generally felt much better after the first 600 metes. I think that 90 seconds is about amount of rest to take.

Race: AHA 5k (3 Miles) 00:16:05, Place overall: 1
Total Distance

I trained this week with absolutely zero intention of racing today, but how can I pass up a free 5k?

I was a bit lazy and did wake up until 7:15. I ran to the start line and got there at about 7:50. Unfortunately they were out of bib numbers when I got there, but they told me to go ahead and run anyway.

When I saw BJ (he is 6'7" so not hard to spot), I knew that I wasn't going to win anyway.

 At the start I took off pretty fast, much faster than was really intelligent. There was someone right on me however, someone wearing headphones. I mean really, I don't want to be a snob or anything, but I don't care how "hard core" your playlist is, it's not going to overcome the fact that I train harder than you. This guy stayed right with me until about 400meters in at which point he just stepped off the course and stopped. I just don't get that kind of behavior and it really threw me off. Now I was kind of hanging out in front by myself in front of the main pack, which is not what I really wanted to do. BJ caught me after about a mile and I stuck with him until the halfway point when he decided to pick it up.

I really felt awful through most of the rest of the run but only positive split the two loops by about 15 seconds. I was kind of amazed when I ran 16:05, but then I realized that they had just hoped the course would be 5k, when it clearly wasn't. There is a 5k course marked out at Sugarhouse, but for some reason (logistical probably) they didn't use it.

Anyway the race director decided to give me the prize for second place even though I was banditing because I had tried to register. I thought this was fairly generous of them.

Anyway, the course tool has this come out to about an even 5k, so it is right in line with all the other 5ks I've run this fall.
