not giving up on the comeback

oh a little heavy after the super bowl festivities but I had a decent run in the mist and rain today.

9.7 @ 7:24 ave pace

Wow that was a really bad run this afternoon. Not sure what the deal is. A little sore throat but nothing too bad. 

4 @ 7:55 ave pace

later 7:13 ave pace for 4.2 - put on my old magic shoes and they are a little better I think.  

fighting a cold and don't feel too whippy today - almost bailed on the run.  Once I got out I felt a lot better.  

6 @ 7:23 ave pace

Ran 4 at lunch - extremely sluggish.  Not sure why - I feel great otherwise.  

4 @ 7:50 ave pace

5PM -  -= I felt much better than at noon.  Got an email from the masters team manager for Atlanta Track Club.  He wants me to join the team.  He's been talking to me about this They pay up to $600 per year for travel and for races.  So maybe next year for Boston...I'm nervous that I won't stand up to their level.  I have a 5K this Sat that he'll be at and I haven't run fast since November.  I know I can do it but this isn't the right time of year for me...

4.5 @ 7:05 ave pace

Had a hard time getting my bootie out the door today.  But once I got going I felt pretty good.  

7.7 @ 7:09 ave pace

20 deg windchill for the race in the morning - yuck

Ran the annual Valentines weekend race with the Atlanta Track Club.  It has been the site of a couple 5K prs in the past, but not today.    I was wheezing the whole way.  That must have been annoying the the runners near me.  

I have a month to work on my speed before my next 5K, one in the neighborhood.  Good thing is that I remembered how to run sub 6 min miles.  I guess I could have pushed harder, but I honestly didn't feel like it.

18:09 ave pace 5:52

really strong division today - 9th in AG in a 18:08- nice job boys

Got in a recovery run in at 7:20 pace;.  3.5 miles - yippee
