| | A good morning workout before work. Is there a better way to start the work week ????
I ran the 5k course (twice) that I'll be running this weekend. I wanted to get a good feel for how I should go out.
- 7:40
- 7:12
- 7:01
- 6:39 (picked the pace up the second time around)
- 6:38
- 6:34
- .5 cooldown
6:57 avg pace overall
The race is this Saturday night at 7:00 and the weather forecast right now looks like it'll be in the 40's. Depending on the wind which will have an big affect because it's ran across Kentucky Dam and it's all open. I'll probably go out @6:15 the first mile and see what happens. I'll be looking at a 19:30 give or take 15 seconds. Hopefully!!

| | Morning workout at the gym. I just check the weather for Saturday and they are forecasting the wind to be 10-20 mph. That's a bummer...

Stars and Stripes (3.1 Miles) 00:19:20, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1 | | This was another night race and the 4th in the 5 race Western Kentucky State Park Running series. By FRB standards this is not a fast series but for me it been really competitive with the top 3 or 4 runners evenly matched. I've haven't won one till tonight but finished second in the other three. The other three races have been at other State Parks and for some reason all have been extremely hilly. This one is flat with the exception of the roller that gets you up on the levee.The temperature was in the 40's with a good wind blowing over the open water but slowed down to almost nothing at race time. We all got warmed up and it looked like the same crowd with a few extras thrown in so I figured I had a shot anyway.So we're off...... I take the lead the first 1/4 mile (which has a couple quick turns and the roller that gets you up on the levee) and settle into my pace. Nathan the 30 year old thats beat me the last couple races passes me and I'm content to settle in behind him and run my race. We hit the first mile with a 6:15 split which was right on target. We made the turn at the half way point right together and I was feeling relaxed and comfortable. After that for some reason Nathan slowed. I wasn't ready to make a move but I wasn't ready to slow down either so I made a surge and put a 10 yard gap between us. There wasn't a big crowd but there was a few people scattered out along the course and I could tell by them that I kept that gap. With about .5 left I made another little surge to try and increase my lead before we hit the little down hill at the end of the levee. With about 1/4 mile to go I was still feeling good so I glance over my shoulder and I had increased the gap to about 20 yards and knew if I didn't slow down I had this one. So I pushed to the finish and took the win by about 7 seconds.... !!!!!!!!!

5 mile afternoon run in the cold windy rain. It was hard to get out but once I was running it really wasn't to bad.

| | 6 mile run after work 32 windy and cold but dry. I think "Winter and Cold weather" is here to stay. I was explaining to my daughter the difference for me in summer and winter is, in the summer it's not hard to get out the door. You put on some shorts and "Go" but I get Hot and I run out of gas. When it's cold it's hard to get out the door but once I get out there and get to running and get warmed up I love it. Bottom line is I do "Cold" better than and I do "Hot"

| | It was cold, slick and dark when I ran but it was one of those runs that you never feel like you found your stride. I hate these kind of runs but it's in the books anyway. No garmin Thankfully!!!!!

| | Nice morning workout and 7.5 mile run at the gym. I hit the hills trying to get the legs ready for the next hilly 5K in a couple weeks. I pushed up the hills and coasted down but still ended up with a 7:30 avg pace.
