3x1 on the treadmill, then .4 @13.4 to 14.0 to get ready for the 5K this weekend.

 Fully recovered from SGM, can't believe it. I had so much energy left over I only needed 1.5 hours of sleep Sunday night.

Only one of the top ten from last year had signed up, so I had hopes of winning this as I drove up. Then I saw Miles Batty and about 30 track team guys and hopefuls. Now my goal was to keep the lead pack in sight. At least until the south campus road. I started off smartly, ready to burn my excitement on the uphill and cruise the downhill, then take my punishment on the flat. Things went according to plan and the pack didn't get much ahead of me until the flat. My first two miles were 5:35 and 5:27, just where I was hoping to see them, but my third (slightly uphill) mile was 6:06. The last eighth was a shocking 4:47 and it's a good thing because I didn't realize there were two people within 4 seconds of passing me at the end. I still can't figure out how I can lay down a 16:36 5K in the middle of a marathon but can't break 17:30 on a flat 5K course. Oh well, distance normalized PR of 17:38 for me.
