3 in the morning.

2.5 late in the evening

4 after work to and from my sons soccer game.

this week has been pretty bad for getting good runs in. my body has felt trashed and my work is very busy. body seemed to be feeling better on todays run.

have felt like i have been on the verge of injury so this will be a pretty light week other than races this weekend.

my time was not as good as last year. but all things considered it was a good race. i wish that i had the guts to run faster because at the end i always seem to have a good kick and the tank isn't empty when i cross the finish line.

splits as follows:

mile 1 5:08 right where i wanted it to be. running right behind ken carlson

mile 2 5:13

mile 3 5:29 starting to fade

mile 4 5:31 more of the same

mile 5 5:37 ken is still right a head of me as well as another kid. i figure i can pick them off before the finish.

mile 6 5:25 finished strong. didn't feel my greatest today but i had fun competing and just glad to be running as fast as i am right now.

5K to look forward to tomorrow.

my legs were a little stiff with slight soreness in the quads and calf.

at the start there must have been 30 runners that were ahead of me for the first mile.

my splits were

mile 1 5:08

mile 2 5:20

mile 3 5:14

total time 16:06, garmin said 3.09 miles

bested last years time of 16:25

fun weekend of racing now back to some consistant training.
