1PM 5k Series Race: Preface with: I wasn't hurting too bad from the Half yesterday in this one - much nicer day for running today - 60 degrees, windy, and sunny. This was a fun race, also, since it was right in the middle of the Fort Vallonia Days festival.
From the gun, me and a younger (much faster) dude ran together in 1st and 2nd. He was taking it easy on me, apparently - he was chatting with me (the whole race) and seemed more interested in joining the beer sponsored team that I am member of :) - QuaffON!
Anyway, he smoked me in the last half mile and finished a solid 10 seconds ahead of me. I did start feeling some tired legs after about 1.5 miles, but didn't die too bad:
5:40, 5:55, 5:57, 0:30 for 0.1 for an 18:02 - 5k
Later, I found out this kid was fresh out of high school and had run a 16:45 the week before. I thanked him for running and chatting with me.
PM: 45 minute Bootcamp video - plyometrics - good core and leg strength work
