6 miles today on a brand new route in our brand new town with our brand new apartment. I have a feeling this new trail will become a staple of my training routines. pretty warm and humid even tho its only 10am, 43:38, 7:16 avg pace, 22:25 out (7:28 avg) 21:12 back (7:04 avg), started to loosen up a little plus I had the wind at my back the 2nd half...although a shakeout run, still managed a nice 1:13 negative split.

very disappointing run today. I am always shocked at when my stomach issues decide to show up..nothing out of the ordinary today..but bam after finishing up the HMP 1.5 mile tempo, it just hit me. Had to stop on the side of the road even..worst part was this was about as far away from home as I could be, so that was a nice 2-3 mile walk/run back with stomach issues hampering any effort over 1 minute in length, way back took forever...tempo was fine, 5:56 with a 2:56 half mile on the end, 8:52 for 1.5, 5:55 avg pace.

21:49, 7:16 avg pace for tomorrows 5k. Goal is to win so I can buy some new shoes with the GC, another goal is obviously sub 16, hoping to be at least sub 16:40 tho.

Race that I won last year. Had some more local talent show up this year. Still, not my best performance, and I should have broken 17 at least. Thats racing though! Showed up, saw the eventual winner, figured I would have to have a great day to track him down. Started out hard and drafted off him through about 1 mile. We came through in 5:08, 2nd mile it was a 3 man race and we had seperated, this is where we turned into bad headwinds, about 20mph and running solo being a little guy that slowed me down a lot. Next split was something like 5:42 which was almost certainly affected by the wind. 10:50 at 2 miles, ran a 5:39 and a 34 second .1 to cross in 17:04. On the final stretch, I ran down the 2nd place guy, passed him and then had him pass me back before the line. Not much of a kick as it was directly east into the headwind and I was honestly worn out from battling it. Not a terrible effort, I feel like given normal conditions I would have been 16:40-16:45 today, probably not a winnin effort as the winner was 16:30ish into the wind. Still, My time today was 45 seconds faster than my winning time last year. So I am improving and its a plus that I ran so much faster on this course with less than ideal conditions this year.
