got there nice and early (thought it started 30 min prior to when it really did), got in a good warmup, and then just tried to go out at a nice easy pace that I could hold. I didn't really want to red line today. This was just a way to see where I am with my fitness. I think I brought back a few seconds in the last mile.1. mile 1 6:20, mile 2 12:40ish. So I must have run a little faster in the last. cool. Still waiting for the official time - 19:08 - it should be at least 5 sec faster cause of where I started in the pack. Either way I am happy with this time. It is my new 5K PR since I started all over. :) I had a little faster time in me but probably not more than a few sec a mile. I want to get back under 18 for this distance. I just need to keep training consistently and NOT get hurt.
may go out for 6 later - wanted to do 10 but not sure I have the heart for that this afternoon. Well they have me at 19:19 -- that's weird - 19:26 clock time. I thought for sure I heard 19:09. whatever |
