AM - 5k Race in Lexington, KY at Keeneland race track (on the roads).  A hilly course, this race had a competative field.  Winner broke 16, and a girl ran 17:2x.  My fitness is getting back to decent level, and I've been focusing in alittle more on 5k type training.  Less miles, for sure, but more higher intensity stuff.  I expected to break 18 minutes, and better, even on the hilly course.  Did quite a bit of warming up and too much coffee before the race as I would discover when my heart rate got up.  Sick stomach the whole way.

  5:37, 5:48, 5:56, 5:32 - 18:02 5k for 12th.  And only 12th because of a big kick at the end to pass 2 guys.  Too quick on mile 1 - 5:27 Grade Adjusted Pace.  I gotta quit with coffee.

Easy TM runs at the house.  Our TM is pretty suspect.  10 min/mi. feels like 8:30 mile.  7 miles - 65:55
