| 55F. 18 @ 6:46 AP. The goal with this one was to get in a longer aerobic effort. It's too late for 30-milers and such so I figured I'd give the aerobic engine one last toke on the fitness pipe (that made no sense). But this was really good. I ran the same hilly roads as last weekend, but ~45 sec/mile faster.
Splits: 7:32, 7:00, 7:04, 6:53, 7:02, 6:45, 6:40, 6:55, 6:45, 7:00, 6:53, 6:48, 6:43, 6:53, 6:41, 6:22, 6:16, 5:43.
Hammered the last 3. That last mile to my house is downhill, but to do be able to that at the end of this run almost makes no sense. Maybe I'll be ok.

| 52F, 6 @ 8:32 AP. Achilles hurts. Should have known the running gods wouldn't let me get away with something for nothing. Well, I figure the hay is in the barn anyway after 1 successful workout in 3 months. I was going to do a 5k tuneup this week, but instead I think I'll do nothing. Nothing fits nicely into my schedule.

| I think I'll be ok...not feeling like I can run a very good 5k but probably ok on the achilles.
What a training cycle - work explodes, then vacation, then sick, then work explodes again, then achilles....sprinkle in some general apathy throughout, and you have my buildup to the longest race I've ever signed up for.
Alright, 5k tomorrow...hopefully no one good shows up.

| 57F, a little rainy. Did the ol' work 5k again this year but got my butt kicked. Surprisingly, I had the same AP on my Garmin as last year (5:49), but had a faster time - I think they moved the finish line up a bit, so it measured more like a real 5k (3.14 miles on my watch).
After the normal shakeout in the first mile (5:51) I was already way back from several people. Mile 2 was 5:47 and I was still in 6th, but 3 guys were coming back to me. Got two of them early on in the 3rd mile and sat behind the other guy until maybe the 2.7 mark or so...then put on a furious (uphill) sprint, which I knew I had absolutely no chance to sustain through the line, but it dissuaded the guy from trying to match it. So mile 3 was 5:47 and the last 0.14 was only 5:57 pace on the watch...obviously I was completely destroyed by the early kick and flailing around wildly, but it worked, so I'm good with it.
Anyway, not bad! But geez, I don't know if I'll do this one again next year...I mean, who wants to compete in a race if it's going to be competitive?
