Cap city 5k today, hit the first mile in around 5:28 then completely dropped off the face of the earth. my body gave up on me and the last 3k was slower than 6:00 pace, finished somewhere around 18:40 or something for the 5k, but at that point I was jogging it in just to finish and was no longer  trying to run fast. Not a good day, but this is my body saying its time to take a week off and reload, I shoulda listened sooner and done it sooner, but you live and learn. Taking 6-8 days completely off, then gonna do another cycle. This cycle has been great, lots of PRs, just kinda fizzled out on tired legs.

you had such a great spring - PRs across the board, lots of excellent races and workouts. you're right, now its probably time for a little break, then start re-building. the nice thing is that when you start back up again, you are starting at a new level now.

Thanks for the encouragement Jake! I think some time off is just what I need to come back stronger! Good luck in your coming races!
