Great weather today perfect for another downhill 5K time trial. Temps in the low 40's and sunny with very little wind. I vowed to not make the same mistake as the last 2 weeks and go out too fast on the early steep downhill. Plan was to run mile splits around 6:00, 6:15, and 6:30 to end up just under 19:30 for 5K. I almost forgot the plan and started out mile 1 a bit quick but then I mentally slapped myself upside the head and stuck to the plan, which ended up working out quite nicely and I ended up at 19:23. Mile splits were 5:57, 6:16, 6:30, :39 (last .10) I'm pleased with this workout. Maybe since Old Bean recently tweaked his hamstring playing church ball I can give him a little scare at the Leopard 5K! |
