Race: Tooele City 5K (3.1 Miles) 00:18:49
Total Distance
10.60

I'm out visiting my parents in Tooele (where I'm originally from) for the holiday.  I don't like 5ks.  They are just one big long sprint.  1st in my age group and probably about 11th or 12th overall.  Favorable course with some descent downhill at the beginning.  I stopped and walked a couple of times in the third mile where there is an uphill portion to finish the course.  I could see the winner cross the finish line.  He was probably right around 17:30.  The long run yesterday and the relatively low miles due to the achilles probably didn't help me much today, but it was good to push things a bit.

Splits:

1-5:28

2-5:46

3-7:01 (yeah, I know, kind of pathetic)

.10-0:34

Ran back to the car at a slow pace.

PM 3.5 miles at an easy pace to try and help me feel better about all the garbage I ate today.

GREAT JOB! I do not like 5k's either, they are hard. Your time is impressive, and when you factor in the walking and still come out with that time----WOW!!!!

Have fun partying it up in Tooele!

Great job! 5:28 the first mile? You were flying my friend. 7:01 is not pathetic.
