6 mile warm up at recovery pace

5 K in 21:07 (what a disappointment)

6 mile cool down at recovery pace

Total run 15.1 miles AP 8:02

I ran the 5 k as fast as I could and was disappointed in my effort.  This list is for me so I can try to keep up my confidence that I can BQ UVM.

 1. I am just finishing my first 50 + mile week since the beginning of January

 2.  I ran 6 miles before doing the 5K

 3.  I have lost 10 lbs in the last 2 weeks so probably wasn't carbed up well

4.  I usually can peak quickly and still have 3 more weeks before I need to start my taper.

5. My track speed work has not been too bad the last couple weeks.

 6. I was wearing my heavy shoes and a fuel belt which probably cost me some time.

 7. It was hot!

Bush! I say that was a successful long run with a sweet 5K thrown in the middle!

I LOVE the list...a darn good objective evaluation of your training...very solid! You are doing

AwesOME!!! You lost 10 lbs in two weeks? How in the world???!!! don't tell that to Doone! Well, I'm sure you already knew! 10 lbs!!! You better start eating like Gary! :) :):):)

GOOD JOB, Bishp!! You're gonna do AWESOME at UVM!!!

Nice run sweetie!!! Smooth, I already knew about the 10 lbs. and I am still beating him percentage wise in the weight loss contest with 7.5 lbs in 2 weeks. Sweetie, you are going to do great at UVM!!
