Race: Sprint with the Spirit 5k (3.11 Miles) 00:17:47, Place overall: 4, Place in age division: 1

Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
10.37	5.00	3.11	0.00	18.48

AM: WU - ~1.5 w/ strides, Sprint for the Spirit 5k - 17:47 (5:33, 5:42, 5:57, 28.9) - felt good this morning and stayed with the leaders until about mile 2 - I think with fresh legs I could win some of these things :). CD - ~4.5 mi. with the usual guys that beat me :)

AM2: got home chugged a gatorade and off: 3 mi. easy over to track for tempo run - 5 MP - 33:07 (6:32, 6:30, 6:30, 6:39, 6:54) - really struggled with the last mi. :( I predict that the last mile will be similar to how I will be finishing the marathons this fall... it looks like I simulated this breaking point twice this week.

The newer Ghost 4's are retired with about 150 miles on them - that's how terrible these shoes were made - must've gotten a bad pair. I busted out the old Ravenna 3's with 450 miles on them and felt a lot better.

Another solid sub-18, nice going. I would die if I tried to go out in 5:30, it would be over right there and I'd be lying on the grass dead. So way to hold on.

Keep up the good work.
