Well, it looks like I logged 27.39 miles while in Belize.  Most of it was easy running on the beach.  All that running in th sand is tough.  I did about 80 % of my runs on the beach and the other 20% on the roads.  I didn't get in until 1:30 this morning and I had to be at work at 8 am.  I think I will take today off and then start running again tomorrow morning.  I missed all the running chat with you guys, but it was great to get away from life's stresses.  Now I have 5 days to get ready for the 5K Turkey Trot.  I have not weighed in, but I don't think I gained much weight on the trip.

I decided to get some mild speed work in last night in finall prep for my 5k Sat.  I headed to the track warmed up a little more than a mile and then did 8 x 400 with 1:30 min walk breaks.  I averaged 1:21 per 400m with my fastest repeat being 1:19 and my slowest 1:23 so I stayed pretty consistant.  I cooled down for a bit more than a mile and headed home feeling good and thinking maybe I might be able to salvage my 5K Sat. even though my training has been weak ever since SGM.

Total run 5miles.  Avg pace 8:07

Sorry I haven't been able to get to anyone's blog since retruning home.  I've been slammed at work and that is when I usually catch up on all the blogs.  I'm anxious to get back to reading all your reports though.

I got out and did some easy miles last night.  I ran 5.6 miles averaged 8:08 and felt good.  I think I will take today off and then take my chances tomorrow morning with the local 5k turkey trot.  I haven't race 5K since last years turkey trot.  I'm sure by mile 2 I'll be remembering why I don't run 5Ks more than once a year.  I need to try and mentally prepare for the pain, but I am just not there right now.  I have definitely slacked off big time since SGM and no where near peak shape.  I'll report Sat. on how it went.

I got up and ran my 5K Sat. morning. I felt fat and out of shape after doing no serious training since SGM 5 weeks ago. I was hoping to go sub 19 which would be a 5k PR. The course is bruatal, descending more than 600 ft on the way out and then turning around and running back up. I ran the first mile in 5:21, hit the turn around at 8:45, mile 2 was 6:12. I was hurting on mile 3 but gave it all I had up the steep hill, 6:58. Then I left everything out there averaging 6:21 on the last 0.1. I finished 3rd overall and 2nd in my AG with final time of 18:59. (For a better, more detailed report see, fourmflyers.org)
