Legs are very tired this morning. They are not sore, just tired and out of stored glycogen. That's an easy fix: carb up. Giant bowl of cereal and orange juice this morning.

Decided to run a 5K today since there was some money to win and I wanted a race to blow the mental and physical cobwebs out of my legs for the marathon in two weeks. I thought it would be an easy win, I guess not!

I knew Witters and Jurkovich were coming but I had no idea Nico was in shape to run sub 15:30 and coming in on tired legs after Wednesday's workout, I wasn't sure how my legs would feel. Luckily, I still won enough to win back my entry fee + a little extra. Not to mention that I ran just three seconds slower than my 5K PR after months of marathon training. I'm in 2:24-2:28 marathon shape I'd wager and still ran a decent 5K. This means that I'm in great shape.

First mile: overpass hill but managed a controlled 4:56 with Witters pacing. Second mile was the turn-a-round cone mile in 5:01 which I fell off the pace a bit. It sure would be nice to run 4:55-4:55-4:55 in a 5K. Anyway I was in the lead at about 2.6, that's when we went up the overpass hill and Nico and this new guy came by me and kicked it in. I had no kind of kick whatsoever in my marathon legs after the workout Wednesday so I couldn't catch them. However, when I turn my attention back to shorter races, I feel like going after a sub 15:00 before I get too old is not a stretch.

Two weeks till Richmond
