Well, that was a first. I had signed up for the BDR Freakin Hot 5k in Starkey Park with 7:15 am start. I had set the time on my alarm for 5:30 and I either forgot to finish setting it or it went off and I turned it off while still asleep. I woke up, wide awake at 6:50 am, it was light out already so without looking at the time I knew I'd blown it. Maybe if it was 6:30 I could have barely gotten there in time but, no way at 6:50.
I thought about running my own 5k time trial but decided on 5x1k repeats and then do a longer run tomorrow.
4:28 (7:11), 4:12 (6:46), 4:25 (7:06), 4:05 (6:34), 4:15 (6:50)
These times were ok. First one is always a struggle which makes me not want to do the rest, but the rest turn out better. I'm going up and down a street, so going in the opposite direction every other one with first and third slightly more uphill. So, 5th one was really good because it was in the "slow" direction.
Track woud be better. Maybe try flat next time.
