Pacing wasn't the best and went a little too quickly to complete the full 3 sets but that's alright since it's so early.

late night at work but ran out of time for core this morning. I have a cold, it's minor but I'm sniffling and sneezing. Getting lots of rest before my 5,000m indoor race Saturday. Ironically the weather will be perfect for an outdoor race.

UMD Indoor 5000 (3.107 Miles) 00:15:40 | | As usual, I went in with big expectations to this meet and as usual, those expectations went to shit after about two miles. I don't know what it is, whether it's my diet, my routine, my age, my training, or whether I'm under thinking it or over thinking it, but I'm sick of under performing in races.
George was there and after a decent mile in 4:51, I began to slow as the leaders pulled away. He kept yelling at me to speed up and catch them for just a lap. I ignored him, and kept telling myself I'll put the hammer down the last mile. By then it was too late and my legs were all but dead after going through 3200m in 9:54. Rolled home in 5:09, lapped by the top two runners. Kind of embarassing.
George mentioned that he thought I could run 15:10. Going in, I also believed I could run 15:10. He said I nailed he workout Tuesday (which I did) but looked like shit today. I'm afraid that's my problem. I'm down for great workouts but suck in races. Somewhere along the lines of belief, self confidence, and positive self talk, I fall short. I'm not sure why. He recommended I get back in there next weeka nd run at George Mason or Navy. This time I'll throw away the watch and race, without regard to the pace, like I did in the good old days. Burned a lot of people back in the day, and I know it's still there. Sometimes we have to work hard at getting the best out of ourselves. It's never easy.

PM: 1hr 6 min pool run
